The Lone Wolf


The lone wolf
Travels through night

His hunger and emptiness
Pushes his flight

Through forests and valleys
Thickets and streams

A lonesome trek
Too substantiate his means

Alas the smell
Of the weak and defenseless

A glimmer of hope
To sharpen his senses

He stalks as his sonar
Picks up the scent

Of a defenseless creature
Whose life was soon spent

On his approach
He looks all around

In a forest of many
He hears not a sound

His fear intensifies
As he makes his steps

But the hunger he feels
Has never reached these depths

His radar aroused
Fear in his throat

As he sees a plump rabbit
Hung by a rope

He walks up slowly
And smells of the ground

With one more precaution
He makes his last round

He leaps for his prey
In final delight

And falls into a trap
Which cuts like a knife

The cold steel jaws
Firmly grip his limb

With his Last Supper
His life grows dim
