I’m lurking beneath the shadows
Where scattered bones a lay
By night I watch the daunting
Dead innocent men pay.

As blood trickles down my arm
Tears tumble down my check
I sit back and watch all weep

The bony fingers of the night
Tap on my shoulder
I look behind me,
But all I see is the horizon

The Wind turns my head to see
Another one dead,
Hanging from a tree,
But it is not men, who kill these folks,
For it is a much more powerful being.

Like a snake, or a bear, or a lion.
Only it’s not these creatures above.
With a wing span bigger than that of a dove,
And eyes of a menacing tiger,
Teeth like sharpened swords,
Fire from its nose,
And only four toes.

Rip through the flesh,
Munch on the bones,
Swallow the juicy flesh
And steal their mobile phones.
