iron spine recommended
run with the wind brethren
when this hunt is over a new one begins
adults form a circle - surround the children
put their lives on the line for their next of kin
first bite hurts
but it doesn't draw any blood
the second bite burns like fire
hind leg goes numb
tumble in the dust vertebrae busts ribs get sliced out spill the guts
predators come alive from the blood lust
in the wild killers thrive when the heart pumps
adrenaline
through lines where the blood runs
it's only a crime when it's done for fun
life is only real for the last one
standing
