Sophistry

How can living creatures
Be subjected to
Unfounded and groundless reasoning
As wolves now seem to do
One breath says they ought to be
All Blown up with dynamite
When they are an integral part of nature
And their place is entirely right

For me there is much prejudice
Poor judgement let me say
The wolves need space to register
And with it they do display
Their wild rights and our need for them
To serve the wilderness
We do not need tunnel vision
We need protection not more stress

On one hand we research their being
On the other we shoot them dead
We have laws in place to protect them
And hunters and many have said
If we see wolves we will shoot them
Irrespective of the law
We shall move into their territory
And then go to war

Wolves are Apex predators
That is what they are
They do not eat as humans do
They are wild in fact they star
In Gaia’s truest expression
And they serve environments well
As artists they paint the scenery
Not create a hell

They are part of natures offering
Unlike the hunter man
Who takes out all the predators
So nothing to do with the plan
Of balancing every aspect
Of nature as we know
He doesnt live in the wilderness
And cannot be in the show

Then we find the researchers
Who spend money and spend time
Photographing wild wolves
Hopeful of their climb
Back into a territory
To reclaim it and to be
Part of the great GAIa
Adding apparently

So much to the equlibrium
That otherwise is lost
The naivete apparent
The ignorance thats cost
And unconsciousness and ignorance
To blossom day on day
Their obstacle to knowledge
And on that why we all pay

We need wolves for creation
Used its broad brush for it knew
The domino affect is there and crashes
Crashes yes all through
Everything is altered when the wolves are forced away
The wilderness is broken and then
We all do pay

Those who want to slaughter them
They should be moved away
Taken from the vicinity
They must not have a say
Take aWay their dynamite
And caution them for they
Go against creation
And the order of the day
