Alpha Male

We all know one, 
and only one, 
there's ever only
room for one,
he makes sure
to sniff and shun
and always chase 
the other ones 
away

They're just pretenders
not contenders,
he has no peer,
no one to fear
except the face
that's in the mirror,
the awesome and
the mighty
Alpha Male

Tails between their legs
they run,
proving he's the only one
the Alpha Male,
the one and only 
one

Fearsome both 
in bark and bite, 
may not be the 
smartest one 
in sight,
but is the one
who'll likely bite, 
don't test him
or you'll have a fight
unless you're smart
and just take flight
either way,
you'll get a fright
if you tempt the 
awesome might
of the Alpha Male

He wishes to prove 
he has the biggest,
but in the end 
he's just the biggest
baddest, meanest
lonely
Alpha Male

Hi David, there are such people in life hey. And we cannot wish them away. The best way to deal with them is simple to be "smart and just take flight". Walking away does not mean one is a coward or weak. Thank you for sharing. Regards.
