A wolf never becomes man's best friend when locked away Gnawing with ****** teeth and gums at the bars of the cage Never turning to the aiding hands of man Remaining wild howling and snarling from sun rise to rest The eerie fog that comes from his breath As his labored breathing Lingers in the air of the evening Heart only beating for three reasons, Eating, sleeping, and dreaming of freedom All other facets of life fade into the abyss Of his existence Snarling howling, sneering scowling Aching for reprieve from the metal confines The same ache pouring from my eyes For the wolf and I share the same plight Calling to the moon at night Wild souls trapped locked away Never bowing to society's demands trapped in this cage
