A Hunter’s prey


Did you come across the weary hunter?

Seemingly harmless hungers in silence.

 

But just who is this weary hunter?

Unsatisfied, unstoppable, and intangible

 

He dwells within all of us

Secluded in the depths of a cave

Darker than any darkness in the heart of man.

From pain and suffering the hunter grows strong.

A trap set by hunters since ages old

-he doesn’t understand.

 

Preying on the weak

To hide his weakness

Will never suffice

 

Shall we never see the end of the hunter?
