A Wolf I once knew

The wilderness
is my home
I am limitless
the sky above is my
ceiling to my world
I understand the elements
more so than all those 2 legs
this is my world I exist
its boundaries are my doors
of course the trees the leaves the flowers
I am curious to see
I love to play it is my way
and the breezes yes they be
warm and cool upon my face
as I run through the terrain
my single mindedness are my thoughts
I am vigilant and I gain
a great deal of my knowledge
from listening for I
live out in this wilderness
I am truly and outside guy

I like to stretch up tree trunks
and smell the sun drenched leaves
some leaves are very sweet
and that sweetness achieves
a kind of true euphoria in me
I have to say
a wolf needs lots of lightness
to just get through the day

yes I am an apex predator
but in fact I am ultra fair
I don’t kill for the sake of it
for me I am aware
of life and of creation
and to kill for no reason would
be wrong it would be so unfair
even though I could

instinctively I have no fear
but commonplace today
the 2 legs
in their heartless state
want to blow me away
any fucking reason
if there isn’t one
they make
a reason just to shoot me
oh yes they want their cake

I’ve killed some sheep
I never do
I want wild food their crap
is filled with bloody chemicals
I get into a flap
there’s something in the raw flesh
that makes my hormones tight
I seem to not be in control
of my faculties I fight

a battle with myself sometimes
after eating sheep
give me wild food any day
that fast food
makes me weep
then there’s those pesky Ravens
they steal your food like mad
and so I’ve joined a pack of wolves
and really I am glad

we share our kills
and that is good
the crows and vultures come
but we can see the buggers off
before, they eat some
the 2 legs are our major worry
on this earth today
they have no understanding
their ignorance is way

up there in the heavens
what they have forgot
you wouldn’t believe
if they lived out here
they wouldn’t get a lot
out of this wild garden
out of this great sky
the trouble is they come with guns
and bows and lots now die

man un kind is destroying everything
a Midas he is not
the wilderness though it is shared
seriously we’ve got
a major problems on our paws
the 2 legs for they are
the worst threat really to themselves
in that role they are the star
