Roar of the Cats

In distant jungles in the dead of night Lions and hyenas are apt to fight Often fighting over common food source Outnumbered lions suffer nasty bites They will often times fight from sun to sun but the battle is never really won It's a constant war between the two Death come to those who aren't top gun As a lioness sounds a distress call Hyenas circle her, twenty in all This conflict may result in her demise Deafening roars rattles trees as leaves fall Two huge lions come to settle the score The battles rages with lots of blood and gore Hyenas run away to lick their wounds The jungle echoes as the victors roar contest: Night Dark Black Happy Sad contest by: Craig Cornish
