"I am the Wolf" |
by Sunnyone |
I am the wolf, a loner at heart... You are human, and will rarely, if ever, see me... I roam the wilderness forests and mountains of this earth, that we share... I mate for survival, as you do... and I help my mate raise our pups in the warmth of our den, nurturing and watching them grow and play, as you do with your human young... We run as a pack family, and our members are as close as those in yours... When a member is lost, we grieve, but go on... Just as you do... When I am hungry, I must hunt for myself and my family, for that is all I know... There are no stores to cater to my every need... Some of you have said that I am a killer... A cold-blooded hunter of death... But when I kill, it is to feed my family, and I only take the old, sick, and weak, who will die regardless... I don't kill to hang heads for trophies on my walls, as you do... Now I am the hunted......by you... You are afraid of me, because you don't understand me... You think I am taking from your herds of plenty, which you advertise to big game hunters for their tourist dollars... Yes, you are afraid of me, but I can't hurt you... You are the one with the power to destroy my kind... You set your traps to torture me, and send your helicopters, to kill me from the air... I cannot fight you, for that is not my way... that is your way... I only want my freedom, to run, live, and sing to the moon... I will share this earth with you in peace... as long as you let me... I am the Wolf... |
