The Wolf Is Here

It is anything but true,
Lurking around you.
Silent under the perfect white,
It does not lose you of sight.

It will lead the family to destruction,
It wants the blood of the children.
It is patiently waiting to attack,
Hiding behind the fathers' back.

It is your friend, your brother, your sister.
It is thirsty for power.
It will take all and leave none.
It has already poisoned our sons.

Trust nobody, hide your tongues.
For your words are going around like a song.
Be on your guard, stretch your ears,
The wolf under the skin of a sheep is here.
