The Hunted's Sacrifice

The hunter and the hunted,
creatures of instinct,
driven by primal desire,
consumed by the fire of survival.

The hunter -
propelled by hunger, a creed of survival.
A ghost in the wilderness,
armed with cunning and reason.
He navigates the wild with stealth
craving the taste of life.

The hunted -
shrouded in fear,
moves cautiously,
constantly on the edge of flight.
Survival is a relentless struggle
marked by a pulse of strife.

The hunted's surrender,
a sacrificial offering
to the hunter's pleasure.
Nature's cycle of life and death
where one life is given
to keep many others warm,
preserved, sustained.
