In a Tiger's Eyes...

The Tiger crouches Eying her prey a soft, helpless rabbit grazing in the grasses. The ferocious glare Resting in her eyes So angry- So piercing. She springs forward Releasing her claws Growling With a deafening tone. The rabbit cries In despair For it knows Its end is near. Her nails pierce The helpless rabbits flesh It quivers In anguish. The tiger snarls And watches the rabbits sprit rise and vanish. As she opens her jaws Ready to devour She looks into the heavens And cries For she knows pain. All too well.
