Predator ready to hunt
Perfectly camouflaged
Stalking and ambushing his prey
Ready to pounce and devour her innocence.
Unable to comprehend his designs
She moves towards him
Lost in her fancy world
Unaware of her hunter.
Now she lies placid, tears streaming
Her soul torn apart.
Wanting to scream but her mouth dry.
Her body numbed.
A boiling cauldron of humans
Calling themselves civilized
But savage and wild
Slaves to their lust and desire.
