Today's Child

Today's child 
I see the child 
Surrounded by wolves..
Pain never felt 
Tears never shed..
The nestling has been accepted into the eternal den 
Received, concealed, protected..
Reclaimed against the will of the maker 
We that live outside the back are but scavengers..
Approaching the alpha nervous 
Conquered..
Enraged when our selfish requests are not consummated 
Everything has been taken for granted
