We Are Wolves

Come brother wolf, I call to you from the depths of my soul... Spectre of light in this dark world; unchained glow in midnight hour... Come, pay homage to siblings slaughtered, for political gain. Those who tip the fragile balance will pay; we will watch from the ever after. We are wolves we guard the trees who bleed oxygen. Those who massacre us.. starve their own lungs. They forget that we are wolves and because of us they thrive.

I am HOWLING my approval. If you meet me in the forest tonight, we shall howl together, and leap through the bodies of those who do not understand, breaking them apart in ungentle ways.
