The Silent Killer

Nestled above the canyon high Eyes searching across the sky Nothing and I mean nothing escapes its stare Another day another meal Another’s loss, another’s kill This bird of prey, the prowler of the air The mighty hunter rests on its throne Yesterday’s meal now only bones Up, up where only eagles dare To survive and live in this world so real One needs speed for a fast kill While another lives on a wing and a prayer Run fast, run hard or die in vain Day in, day out, the same old game Nowhere is safe, but life must go on Beware on the desert, deaths in the air The speed of the flight, it’s just not fair Another that lingered never made it home Life seems wasted, but death give new life While the claws of the predator cuts like a knife A swish from the heavens and another snare Nestled far above in the canyon high Eyes starring across the sky Nothing and I mean nothing escapes its stare
