Innocent, Unsuspecting, Incredulous

Eyeing its prey from its perch above
  it swoops in on its target
inserting its poison and darting away
  its imperiled victim blissfully unaware

Innocent, unsuspecting, incredulous
  that one creature would attack another
on this lovely exoplanet, AS796324xe
  as it/we hurtle irrevocably 
         ~ into the nether regions of nothingness

It's not the destination, it's the journey that counts.
