    night watchers

    An august moon a soft winter night
    the wind blows cold as the owls take flight
    in the darkness the sounds appear
    of all the creatures moving near

    the ants move along the ground with passion
    but yet they move in an army type fashion
    the birds fly in for an awesome feast
    the owls look on and so do the beasts

    a mouse looks out to see if its clear
    but fails to see the snake that did appear
    the snake moves away sleek and powered
    as the hawk moves in and the snake is devoured

    with spooky eyes of yellow, green and white
    all but the predators bed down fr the night
    always prowling and on the move
    a deadly creature hunts, yet has nothing to prove

    it moves like lightening and sounds like thunder
    when a shot sounds out is always puts asunder
    the life of a human is yet not like a song
    the law of the jungle states to live or
    die neither is wrong

    the aim is set and the shot rings free
    but the beast is missed at it hit a tree
    from the shot came silence that all creatures knew
    the animals were hunted, but now the human is too

    without any more shots he pulled out a light
    and walked through the jungle for it was his last night
    the ground opened up with a monsterous roar
    trees fell down but wait there's more

    the snakes, fireants, and beetlebugs too
    all knew what was about to happen
    and knew just what to do

    the man stepped into the clearing and began to eat
    what he saw next caused his heart to skip a beat
    the beetles and ants attacked what they could
    but his face was well protected with a netted hood

    the man jumped up and began to scream "beast!!"
    before he realised they all circled from the east
    the man again ran at the mouth
    as he loaded his gun more circled from the south

    the attackers were scavengers and knew what to do
    to avoid all his shots,and he had fresh meat on him too
    over the bushes and past all the trees
    the man tried to run with cuts on his knees

    some beasts stayed back to put out the fire
    they watched as the wolves began to ravage and devour
    the man tried to escape but had no chance of that
    once over ran by the pack all that was left was his hat

    the mans screams were heard but quickly silenced by power
    his life had ended in less then an hour
    to those be wary before u come here at night
    unless you come hunting you will be alright

    to those who say it'll not happen to me
    take heed these words or like that man you will be
    i tell you this now as a warning and wise tale
    be careful of the beasts for they shall send you to hell
