Wolves Poems

Premium MemberCall Of The Wild

Yes, I’m the cute little pooch,
You treat like a substitute child, 
Domesticated and to some extent,
By breeding, I’m pedigree styled,
But don’t ignore my ancestral line,
For I still listen to the call of the wild,
And in my heart I’m still a wolf
And this wolf can be easily riled.

The Law of Wolves and Sheep

The only masters of words
are lawyers and politicians,
twisting syllables into chains,
binding the public
with illusions of justice.

International law?
A fragile parchment,
easily burned by power.
The mighty—
America and its allies—
violate it in daylight,
and walk away untouched.
The court that dares to judge them—
a kangaroo court,
mocking its own shadow.

And you, Africa,
you global south,
clinging to Roman-Dutch law,
do you not see?
You punish yourselves
with

Lone Wolves in The Fog

Lone Wolves in The Fog 

Memories like lone wolves in the fog interlope my conscious mind
Pedigrees that are hierarchical that seem too cruel and unkind
Energies that are patriarchal that permeate throughout mankind 
Reveries that are anarchical rare contradictions that run through the mind 

Graceful tones of purity that provide a calming of the soul 
Spaceful

Premium MemberWHICH WOLF WILL YOU BE FEEDING

It is impossible when I’m, looking out over the mountains in N. C.
not to feel the influence, the presence…the spirit of the Cherokee.

When I think how in this country and the world…
there is a battle between people who are inhumane to one another…
and those who are compassionate and kind..
up here in the mountains of North

The howl remains

Look what we've done
But why did you?
Look, we've done it
But should we have?

Why this first?
To be more heard.
Just because we could?
We'll describe.

So what about evolution?
What about it?
Is it not the rule?
Who’s to say?

Was it necessary?
We’ll justify it.
But in the silence
The howl remains.

Where the Wolves Reign

They brought them back in the Age of Dust,
when crops failed and gods went quiet.
With DNA teased from marrow’s crust,
they rose--reborn, and violent.

In glass-born labs beneath dead cities,
the scientists whispered hope.
“Guardians,” they said, “not beasts nor pity,”
as they cut through time’s old rope.

But the wolves remembered ice and blood,
the hunt, the pack, the kill--
they moved

Oh, How We Fell

Ancient howling came back to Earth
  And before long more species followed
  Some contested against this unnatural birth
  But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
  Then after a little - our world was swallowed
  
  Even though we lacked a time machine
  We ended back up in

Premium MemberI was baptized in the howls of wolves, under the lattice of thorns of ancient winds

I was baptized in the howls of wolves, under the lattice of thorns of ancient winds,
My veins are mapped by serpents, my pulse beats to the rhythm of forgotten beasts,
All who fear kneel, but I stand untamed in the midst of the storm,
Unsculpted by the hand of time, unyielding in the face of attempts to

Quote by: Ring time 
And there is a rumor in the forest...
••• If they believed in themselves, as they believe in dark and vicious words that desecrate minds and souls. If that same force will be used for them. Their concrete forests would flourish instead of dying in droughts caused by the minds of dark

Whispers of the Wolf

through shadowed pines and drifting snow
a silver ghost moves soft and slow
eyes like embers, burning bright
a watcher in the frozen night

the moonlight carves his silhouette
a fleeting shape, a whispered threat
not of malice, nor of hate
but of a world that seals its fate

his voice, a song upon the air
a mournful cry, a hunter’s prayer
echoing through hollow

Premium MemberUgly Cement Gray Howling City Wolves

Ugly cement gray howling city wolves
More dangerous than their county cousins
Tearing families apart with contracts
Filling office workers up with impossible tasks
Tearing heads off colleagues during appointments

Ugly cement gray howling city wolves
Running city blocks to work in tennis shoes
Keeping shiny Florsheim in their desk drawers
a loaded derringer bouncing in their pocket
Incase an indigent asks them for

Premium MemberWolves at the Door

I do not even know how many, many times
You have safeguarded this precious flock of thine 
For the wolves we see,we hear them howl,
Are only the few you have allowed
Not to rend and rip and kill
But to lead me to your sacred will
Which if i had been faithfully following you
Instead of wandering on a path
