He pondered Why not catch the prey? Is battling wise? He questioned Why not settle for less? Pitifully, he'd to promptly decide Is recognition or satisfaction? To feel powerful and proud For helping him survive in the wild In achieving vitality and balance Does honor outweigh fulfilment? Irrespective of how beautiful was a song With how boiled inside he was among And against odds it all belong All of it was then named wrong Yet none of it was deemed strong
