Food Cycle

The big cat and the buffalo
Its the hunter and the hunted
As a spectator in the food cycle
It can be daunting and haunting
To watch the spectacle

To the big cat,  its a race to catch a meal
It's a run for dear life for the buffalo to live
It is life's vicious cycle ordained to be.
Adapt or die as a predator and as a prey.

The weak serve as a prey while the weak predator
 Starve to death
Life in the Savannah grassland is the survival
 Of the fittest.
