Part of the Pack

I joined the Human Race I joined the pack No longer, defending odd ones No longer, preventing attacks Survival, has molded a sculpture of stone Faceless, unformed, yet uniform Yesterday, a strange one joined our group Ostracized, picked on, well chiseled form From afar I studied this artwork I saw some good points I saw some bad points Typical human, but not part of our pack In her absence, we tore her apart A prey for hungry wolves cornered and trapped And I, defender of the human race, Walked away with a morsel from the kill In my haste, I tasted blood An accessory to gossip, we all shared in part More like murder, when I noticed In my mouth, I carried her heart.

Adrianna, so many condone violence, and other negativity by silence. We forget that what we do to others, we do to ourselves in one way or another as we are all "One". Thanks for sharing your well-written poem. Happy New Year! Love, Annalise
