Prey and Predator

You are running for your life trying to stay alive You don't know how long you'll be able to survive Nervousness runs through your heart and mind Your existence served its purpose but now you're out of time I know you're probably thinking life is unfair Because now your spirit is full of despair The predator wants to rip and claw at your flesh Leaving behind a graphic mess His hunger has endless determination You escaping will be tremendous frustration His speed increases with every leap You're the meal that'll put both of you to sleep Sudden bravery overcomes you and you stop to attack Until you notice a mysterious figure behind the predator's back; What is that creature that walks on two It doesn't resemble the predator or you I'm at the top of the food chain with unfathomable dominion; This is a proven fact not a pompous opinion Hunting the predator that hunts the prey That's double the food for the day The predator notices my appearance He knows I will be a inconvenient interference Worried for his life he now runs away Now the predator has become the prey Mr. Predator never believe that you're superior and there's nothing to fear I am your oppressor your inferior here!

Wow LaJoya, what a great rhyme. At the beginning things were looking grim, and was relieved at the awesome solution...Great last two lines, too!
