THE WOLVES ARE HUNTING IN THE WOOD
THE WOLVES ARE HUNTING IN THE WOOD

the wolves are hunting in the wood
raucous crows fly
the wolves are hunting in the wood
rabbits sense menace
the wolves are hunting in the wood
fox and **** and squirrel
muskrat, mouse and ferret
mole and groundhog and rat
also hear the sound
their nerves tinged with fear
their scent sharpened
hairs bristled
eyes snappish
because

the wolves are hunting in the wood
the wolves are hunting in the wood
the wolves are hunting in the wood

but not all alarmed:
some of them
less guarded
foraging
moseying and rooting
for tidbits and possibly more
oblivious to the crowd clamor
surrounding them
placidly go on
life concerns unworried
while the wolves are hunting

some of them
will be found out
enflanked
attacked
dispatched
in quick savagery
some of them
fearfilled shake and tremble
unable to move
paralyzed
some of them
simply continue living
ignoring the signs
while

the wolves are hunting in the wood
the wolves are hunting in the wood
the wolves are hunting in the wood

Our wolves are hunting in the wood
fiercely
but not from hunger
The blackfooted beasts
brown suited black suited
killers
promoters of world order
whose consciences know no mercy
whose territorial contempt
breaks all bounds
and denies all charity
Whose *******
solely intent on destruction
belies genetic sameness
with their prey
and denies all charity
(the wolves)
and denies all charity
(are hunting)
and denies all charity
(in our wood)
