Lyin' crouched down,
in bush covered ground,
I watch, without movement or sound;
surveying all where I lay.
Young gazelles near
with no measure of fear,
they run, jump jump run 'round in play

Lie in the winds
masks scent held within,
I stalk, tensed - primed to begin
classic Darwinian strife.
One gazelle's fate
seals as he breaks too late,
then runs, jump jump runs for his life

Lion's teeth gnash,
claws extend, grip the grass;
I strike, my intent to end fast
the kill with a victory roar
Trapped gazelle's flight
yields a one-sided fight.
Now he runs, jump jump runs nevermore
