Blood In The Water

They come in ones 
They come in twos
Rise from the deep 
From out of the blue.

A drop in the ocean
The smallest of tastes
A single red particle
Is all that it takes.

Streamlined and gliding
A bullet-shaped death
Coming to savour 
Your very last breath.

A mouth full of teeth 
Eyes black as coal
Born to predate
The water's own soul.

Hunger personified
Terror carnate
Swim for your life 
Before it's too late.

Comes from below
An arrow from dark
With jaws open wide
His name is shark.
