The night is dark and full of hunters

The Prey is innocent and somewhat naive

It is not afraid of the unknown

It is willing to explore and seek

Beyond the realms of its own world

Tonight the Prey is in unfamiliar grounds

A land where it had never been before

Excited about the new lights and new sounds

It prepares itself to play loudly and enjoy

But the night is dark and full of hunters

And that, the Prey does not know

So it walks naively into the danger zone

Where the hunters are gathering around

Oh dear Prey, come back alive!

Do not look at the hunter in the eye!

For if you do, you could be paralyzed

By the skillful display of his disguise

Oh dear Prey, keep yourself safe!

Do not listen to his enrapturing decoy

For if you do, you will expose yourself

In a place where death indeed awaits

I have been there, just like them

So I know their tricks well

I also used to hunt in other times

And believe me, preys do fall into the trap

So dear Prey, choose wisely

Explore and seek, meet and learn

But don’t make the silly mistake

Of chasing reflections that shine too brightly

For they are ephemeral mirages

That make you wonder around in circles

Keeping your attention, like a stripping stripper

Until the hunter decides to pull the trigger

(A loud bang is then heard. Some tweets report it as a firecracker, 
others as a gunshot. It never makes it to the evening news nor the morning papers.)
