Predator

Predators tense.
Teeth like razors,
But the eyes hold more.
Anger, hostile features.
Cowering pray.
Weak, puny lives.
Filled with nothing but flesh and blood.
The ignorance is humoring.
Smile at the weakness,
holding it in sweaty claws.
Nothing beats this power.
Superior being walks among
Like the animal you wish you were
