Predator or Pray

He sees a world made up of

Predator or Pray

Where the Law of the Jungle

Prevails.

~

Survival of the fittest,

Let the buyer beware

And if you don’t have a gun

Have a big stick.

~

With no remorse

He will rob and kill.

He always looks

For the easy way.

~

He laughs at the fools

Who says it is not his fault,

That he had a bad childhood,

Or inherited a bad gene.

~

He like what he does

Likes to feel

Crushing bones

And see blood splatter.

~

He will go from the

Girl he just beat and raped,

Leaving her crumpled body

In the alley as he goes to eat.

~

Doing a strong arm robbery

On the way

To pay for his meal.

Like a Lion he sees himself.

~

But the sound of sirens

Make him sulk in the darkness

Like a Jackal until he

Can hale a cab.

~

Tomorrow he will

Be at the bus station

Laid around this town too long

Time to be moving on.

~

The heat is getting too hot,

Too may people

Know him.

Too many have reported him.

~

He has to be moving along

On to the big score

So he does not have to do

His dirty deeds

In the alley.

~

He feels no guilt for in his mind for

The only crime is the crime of being caught.

And if you can’t do the time,

Don’t do the crime.

~
