The Escape!
The drink I took was so d*mn quinching,
From mountainous springs,
The enjoyment of life only can amount to such things,
My antlers grew I'm no longer a fawn,
I eat leaves and salts,
Peaceful upbringing don't make me yawn,
I protect my turf watching rivals at birth,
Antlers clacking and hooves dig in the dirt,
Sustenance forfiling and grow in abundance,
I prance with a herd leap along with hundreds,
My adversaries hunting and I smell them coming,
This a race for my life,
Gotta haste til the night,
Mankind chase for a taste of my rights,
Don't want to be the dish that he taste for delight,
When they shoot their projectile I know it's due pain,
Evolution of man placed me on the food chain.
