FEEDING A BEAR

 
                I WONDER WHAT JUST HOW IT WOULD FEEL
                TO GET EATEN BY A GRIZZLY BEAR
                TO WATCH IT GORGE ON YOUR FLESH
                AS YOUR SPIRIT SOARS OVERHEAD IN DESPAIR

                YOU RECALL FRANTICALLY PUSHING THE BUTTON
                ON THAT DEFECTIVE CAN OF PEPPER SPRAY
                IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE MOMENTS IT WAS UPON YOU
                INSTEAD OF DESPERATELY RUNNING AWAY

                IT WAS THANKFULLY OVER IN A MOMENT
                NO ONE WAS THERE TO HEAR YOU SCREAM
                THE ANTICIPATED HIKE IN THAT NATIONAL PARK
                BECAME A HORRIFIC, NIGHTMARISH DREAM

                IT TOOK YOUR HEAD IN IT’S HUGE MOUTH
                AND BROKE YOUR NECK WITH ONE SHAKE
                DRUG YOUR BODY INTO THE NEARBY THICKET
                FOR THE MEAL IT WAS ABOUT TO PARTAKE

                TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE A MISTAKE
                AND BECAME A GRISLY GRIZZLY MEAL
                DOESN’T MAKE THE SITUATION ANY BETTER
                AS FROM YOUR BONES YOUR FLESH IT PEELS
    
                I WONDER IF THERE IS A PLACE IN HEAVEN
                FOR THE ONE’S WHO’VE DONE SOMETHING DUMB
                THEY TESTED FATE, COME OUT SECOND BEST
                AND IN HORRIBLE WAYS THEY DID SUCCUMB
