Hunger Pains

Hunger Pains



                        Silence of the lambs, a wolf in sheep's clothing
                     Disguised at what he's spent his entire life loathing

                 Prancing through the meadow, his real face never showing
                 Proud false sheep head held high like he is the all knowing

                   Finally he lures a lamb away from her flocks protection
                       Up the hill into tall grass this wolf's final selection

                  Slowly he inches forward, the lamb before the slaughter
                  Then a sudden gust of wind swept off of the rivers water

                   His true smell carries with it straight to Bo Peep's nose
            She turned and ran down the hill and starving he watched her go
