In the End Love Wins

In cold December snow I sniff the air My nose raised high, my paws ready to run The Pack nervously pacing, I sense their Fidgety eager fury, I feel none We neared the border days ago, to hunt The ones who hunted us so long ago To make them face our anger, to confront All of them, before we deal the blow We are with eight, once small and grey as mice Our fur a razzled coat of tatters, fringed Now proud and strong, not wild, but free and wise With white mane, sane and healthy, not unhinged They thought themselves invincible too long Their attitude so carefree as a child's But soon they'll hear the howling of our song Unleashed revenge, uncivilized and wild Too long we were repressed, in cages small Our spirit almost broken, but we fled Our spirit lives, unbroken, we stand tall We live again, our future lies ahead Tonight we will reclaim what once was ours The time is here, it's not about revenge But justice, we're counting down the hours The outcome a relief, 't will be immense No matter where they run we'll find their trail And in the end love wins, their hate will fail *** March 14, 2017 Copyright ©Darren White
