I want mindless violence,
since I can't punch my problems
like humanity used to.

I have telephone calls and
and red tape to cut
just to find out that my problems
have paid the solution
to go vacation on an island
or
they would punch him to death
in the way that I'm not allowed.

I have been told that civilized
takes the animals out of the jungle.
It puts them in big buildings
and it gives them better suits.

I am nothing more than a wolf without sheep's clothing.
Too bad. I would never mug the sheep.

Does the place all the solutions went
have room for just one more,
or will I enter the limestone pit
full of what should have been.

Its strange to think
that sheep dogs, those that keep sheep safe,
are nothing more than adapted wolves
who we trust to lose their nature.
Which of them have eaten sheep,
and who is still on bread and water.

Man once hunted by walking after things-
just following till they died.
I fear I have to walk over oceans
to follow where my prey has gone.
