Frothing Hyenas

​Frothing Hyenas
 
Beware of the frothing hyenas.
The ones waiting in the weeds,
quiet, unsuspecting, and watching.
 
They are looking to scavenge
from the meat of the
temporarily weakened.
 
Those of us that are saddened
or having non-focused moments
are prime for the hiding animals.
 
We do not hear their sinister laughter
as they prepare to pounce.
Steal the will from you.
 
Even at our most frail
and our skin, soul is open,
keep what you can alert.
Beware of the frothing hyenas.
