Predators of the Ocean

Eyes as black as the night, and,
The speed of the torpedo,
As it soars into the sea of blue.
Hidden by their attitude of revenge,
Revenge on man.
The Kingdom of the Sea,
Is a vast array of predators,
But the only one is King.
They call him Death.
When you look into,
Those black eyes deep in the Ocean,
You realize it's too late,
Once you see the whites of their eyes.
You are now their prey, and,
The food of the ocean.
You've seen the stories,
You've seen the tales,
You ask yourself, 
Do you fight or flee?

If they stay away from land I’ll stay away from the sea.
