The Hunt

The lion is on the prey
In the wilderness where the 
innocent is tired of hiding
feeling broken form isolation
The snake is on the hunt
With its head sticking out 
trying to wrap around that pure heart
waiting for the right time to strike
The eagle is on the hunt 
looking for the weak so it can
flap its large wind over the 
eyes of the ones that can't
see the strength within their self
when the hunt is on
the crab is the hunt
looking for someone to come up &
escape in pull them right back down
protection faith and strength is the key
to survive
