A motionless trophy
her little son
lost to the hunter
lost to the gun
how brave was the hunter
relentlessly he
shot the wolf and made off
with the little baby
the song of the wolves
the call of the wild
compassion and love
for the loss of a child
high 5’s from the hunters
and pats on the back
but it wasn’t just the wolves
that were taking the flack
