The Wolves and the First People ( and how they respect each other)

The first people knew the wolf
like no one else has known the wolf
respect both ways was evident
as they
clearly killed each other
at some point I expect
but both have lived to fight
another day
the wild soul and the first soul
they lived yes side by side
drank the water
ate the flesh
ran the wind
and denied
no one they were people
who lived in the wilderness
swam the rivers
wild they were
they knew each others stress
but now the white man
what does he know
drives his four by four
living in a house somewhere
with heating in his floor
eating from his freezer
and from the superstore
to hunting catching picking fishing
no not any more
that builds a great respect
the outcome clearly bright
no one kills more that they need to eat
the balance right
this is Nature’s way
but man alas is his own fool
he will go out a shooting
and try to kill them all
