Survival of the Fittest
Survival Of The Fittest
By: Miracle Man

The sun plays peek a boo through a mottled sky,
And a Red Hawk circles in it’s lofty search.
Espying no movement in the grass from on high,
It returns from aloft to it’s dead tree perch.
Most times it searches from a high altitude,
Constantly looking for its next unwary prey.
It spends endless hours foraging for food,
In hopes of surviving for another day.
Survival of the fittest is the name of the game,
The Red Hawk kills striving to stay alive.
I suppose all creatures were gifted the same,
We do what life requires to just to survive.
“The surprising thing about young fools
is how many survive to become old fools.”
Doug Larsen
