Hyenas

A troupe to be feared,

Hunting, stalking, coursing

Their weak, unnerved,

Prey.


They close in,

Blocking escape routes,

They snarl at their

Meal.


They then launch themselves,

The defenseless animal,

Crying, as its herd

Watches.


It is bludgeoned, yet,

It lives,

They begin their godless

Cackling.


Humans are not as,

"Humane",

As you, may think.
