Alpha knows noun wolfa wink
Canis lupus is rare
Sirius is the brightest 
So this is so lovely Sothis
in an ancient Egyptian way...

Looking for a cure for lupus an incurable disease
Understanding that it may kill me
Probably not very fast
Unaware if I will last
Still standing strong....

In so many ways I see them as being better than us.
They'll die for you and never betray your trust,
and yet this breed of over 400 plus
wouldn't be here today if not for us.
Canis Lupus Familiaris.
More commonly known as Dogs to most of us....

YESTERDAY
I FELL.
NOT A BAD FALL-
SCRAPES AND A
SKINNED KNEE
AN INCONVENIENCE
REALLY.

BUT...
LAST WEEK
I SUDDENLY
TRIPPED
ON FLAT PAVEMENT
AND SO, I JOKED
ONLY ME!

TODAY
I THINK
MAYBE THE LUPUS
OH NO!
NOT THE LUPUS
BUT, THEN I THINK
LUPUS....

Canis Lupus the Dufus

He did battle with three little hams
was embroiled in the Riding Hood scams
now slower of gait
he simply must wait
for a visit from Mary’s sweet lambs

In this crazy world I walk this dark forest alone
Refusing to be part of a pack 
I don’t want to be known
I think independently
So I hunt alone
I carefully keep track of my evolution
Every day I have grown
But now I am in unchartered territory
I have fallen into a hole
I plummet like a stone...

When wisdom not often the same thing,
the first letter may not be capitalized.

Endless homo homini lupus,
more than human and dragon clash.

Smelling overlord blood feud,
taxation penalty redeployed.

Create more misery,
giant trading subjugating.

Free market eliminated,
minimal state dead....

He stands on the slippery crag of Simon’s Seat
has done since time became tradition
from the Lupus a call to the Luna moon
howling at the illuminant of the night.
His descendants thrash the poignant air
a reminder of a fear once gone, forgotten
yet, today there are many still hold them fair
but it is the moon that drives the begotten.

I Pray
Some Day
to be free from all of this pain
Free from the thief,
that has come 
since 2001
to steal my body away;

I Pray 
Some Day,
that this Lupus
will just go away;
but I know it won't go
it keeps me in the throws,
with my organs, it just wants to play.

I Pray 
Some Day,
For Christ to please 
find his way;
to please lay his hand
and heal this man
so I can get down on my knees when I Pray!

my heart
weeps of this lifetime
we shared, and as 
no repetition or Déjà vu
can follow


I watch 
each memory pass
and my chest aches,
with all the smiling faces
whose love, 
is lifting you on your way 


my soul is forever 
sealed in the blood 
that reared and pressed me
against the breast
of the Canis lupus dingo


I now walk alone 
a white speck,
on red dust 


and my howl
rises to echo, 
the night...

I live each day in agony,
No I don't understand
Why God let's me suffer,
With pain in my legs, hips and hands
I have a disease called Lupus,
Somedays I can not move
Yet every day is what we make it,
We simply have to choose
To give in to pain or just give up,
Not something I wish to do
I will fight with all my might,
Yes God will bring me through
Then when I lay my head to rest,
Tears running so deep
I simply say a "special" prayer,
For God to help me sleep...
