LAW OF NATURE

She waited behind the grasses tall,
an unlucky deer was destined to fall.
Eyes wide alert, mind engaged -
Muscles purely in rhythm, undazed!

Scent of prey came with windy puff
while back in hiding the cubs chuff.
The fleet foots were grazing, unaware 
while a mother fixed her killing glare!

It felt like calm before a storm -
For survival, it's the jungle's norm.
Then in open, she swiftly darted out -
Blood gushed like fountain spout!

A mother succeeded, another one failed -
Few suckled milk, while another wailed.
Nature thus chooses whom to kill -
So others can have their stomach fill!
