As I pad on silent paw
Survival is my only law
Absolutes rule above all others
Black and white- there are no colors
To live and die is black and white
A desperate struggle, the fiercest fight

Survival is the ultimate game
I win at all costs, no time for shame
Win or lose, that's up to Fate
But without skill, Life shuts her gate
To lose the game is to lose Life's light
Forever lost in eternal night

No time for morals, I must feed
My quarry? Human- easy to bleed
What was once my kin is now my prey
Affection draining with each day
Yet every kill still claws at my heart
I wonder, will it tear me apart?

But as I gaze up at the moon
Hunger rises; I should hunt soon
[i]Is it all worth it?[/i] I wonder in pain
I know the answer; one thing's the same
As I stalk the moonlit air
The single law is always there.
