Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing
Is a sheep no longer innocent
When it has grown up with wolves
When its fleece is no longer white
When it is stained with blood?
Is it justifiable when it kills
If it weeps afterwards
If it kills to eat
If it kills to live
Is the sheep no longer pure
When it is in a wolf’s fur
When blood drips down its teeth
The same blood in its heart
And when that “sheep” is torn apart
And left to die in the wood
Will its pack remember it as one of them
Will it be remembered as a wolf?
“In all our lives, there is a fall from innocence. A time after which, we are never the same.” -Patrick Rothfuss
