Motivated By Hunger

Depletion of food supply

Over fishing due to greed and population increase

Apex predator ripped from natural feeding grounds

Forced into the shallows, hunger motivation

Survival of the superior creature

Humanity the new prey

Heightened sensory targets victim

Distress impulses entice the appetite

Aggravated aggressor, attack postures

Tail thrusts beast forward

Lunge forth to claim food surrogate

Unknown horror awaits this casualty

Body ejected above the surface

Fears stains your face white

Serrated teeth separate flesh from bone

Lower half maimed beyond repair

Ignorant to this new pain

Endorphins attempt to suppress discomfort

Shallow breathing, saltwater eats at sinew

Preying this torture does not continue

Bitten in half, no longer buoyant

Thrashing arms to keep from drowning

Face down in the water

Blood bubbles in the throat

Surrounded by human debris

The last thing that is seen

Is your attacker coming to consume you
