The Doe and the Hunter
PICTURE FROM AWAY.COM
**************************************************************
He rose up and
cursed the day
that I was born
because he simply
did not like
me
We contend for
a spot on the
dot placed
on center
stage
Who is she
that she should
be placed over me
he says
he complains
daily and they
listen
he rants daily
and they listen
then they begin to
plot my
demise
my destruction
they seek
and plan their
victory party
over the
doe and
her child
they run quickly
to the river and
lay their trap
for the doe when
she drinks her
water
So I entered into
the lair of
my haters and
knowingly began
to drink
from the river until
I hear a
SNAP!
AND A THUD!
When you dig
a ditch
you better
dig two
for in setting a
trap
you may find
yourself
the victim of
your own crime
and plot
the doe jumps
from fear
and runs off
back to the safety
of the forest
while the hunter
lays at the
bottom of
his well laid
pit–realizing
that he forgot
to look where he
was walking
in his glee
over his trap
and soon prey
subdued and
destroyed
The doe runs
back to her fawn
and then continues on
until
another hunter
lays another
trap
on another
God Given
day!
