A moth drawn to the flame,
A flicker in the dark,
A heady combination,
A teasing, taunting spark.
A flutter of its browny wings,
The candle starts to ebb,
Settle please, before it's dark,
Else there's the lure of web.
Antennae slowly probing,
The moth is drawn to light,
It's been this way for hours now,
Should settle for the night.
A spider watches, smiling,
Knowing there's a chance,
That if this moth does flutter still,
That it can join the dance.

I was a human. Only human. Amongst vampires. These vampires. They had a thirst. They wanted that thirst. A taste. To quench that thirst. They wanted me. To feed them. They wanted my blood.
An alligator worked out it's top of the food chain. He hid in the swampy rivers and reeds in the rain. Silent and still waiting for its prey. Along swam a crocodile with no fear today.
In a land far away, Where every pig flies, Today is the day, The last human dies. That land is ruled by, A tiger in clothes. He may be shy, But beware of his claws.
Against the elements You battle on Just a sapling In the breeze Standing your ground On wasteland No protection From falling trees Every year Growing stronger Branches reach Towards the sky A new...
