Call of the Wild
Jack London's Call of the Wild
First brought to our attention in the year 1903
by a name that somehow jolts illusive memory
but how can we recall something so long ago
when we were never born, how then could we know?
Perhaps nature revealed the need to study more
black wolves upon our land reaching on to shore
or was it but an interest to avoid daily routine
the fascination of wolves that we have never seen?
This calling of the wild could it be an illusion
a mere excuse to escape then lost in delusion?
whatever the reason feelings scream beware
always be afraid of the wolf who isn't there!
