With amber eyes he watches
Over his pack, his family
Strong together as they hunt for survival
With angry eyes he sees
Fences across land, men with guns, and a thrill. He only kills to survive
With sad eyes he looks. At sharp traps, the soft furs of his pups
They didn't run to survive
so he asks, why did he survive
Silent Paws by Gerri McCann Silent paws trotting on a well beaten trail, alone in the wilderness, Little yips go unanswered, the moon is now his guide, looking for ones just like him, He sniffs the dampened ground and senses man everywhere, the silence is deafening no howls in the air. Oh why did he venture so far from his den, while his pack fell silent His stomach is growling but the hunger he’ll endure, his pack family is out there it’s their blood he smells for sure. He stops in his tracks and raises his head up high, the terror overwhelms him as he lets out another cry. But still there’s no answer he can’t understand why, he’ll follow their trail or he surely will die. For days now he’s traveled his spirit and body gone weak, Soon the soul hovers over this tiny, frail pup,whose future now will be guarded as his soul travels up. What right does man have to take life from a living thing, The wolf is a symbol, a brother, a friend. Chased from the world I once shared with man Once like the buffalo my numbers were great They call me a predator, they don't understand Envious of my dog cousins and his master's love Married for life to such a beautiful mate Now I'm truly a loner the legend is true As your world grows and buildings get taller He's been worshiped and he's been feared, He's the call of the wild with a spirit strong and true, Brother to brother, Father to son, You'll hear the call of the wild with a spirit strong and true, Please let them hear The call of the wild.
so young and so frail.
or have all of them just died?
at the hands of men?
he lies down in white clover no more energy left to speak.
that has no way to voice its defense against a human being?
it’s time now for action before his existence comes to an end.The Lonely Loner by C Blaine
Now I must seek asylum wherever I can
Blamed for so many things I've never done
They point and say "there, he's the one".
But now for some company I constantly wait
My sleep is filled with dreams of days gone by
and each morning I awake with a tear in my eye.
I'm simply a hunter with no gun in hand
I desire no trophy to hang on my wall
But just a full belly when night starts to fall.
And howling with loneliness to the Heaven's above
Though I long for a touch or a pat on the head
By nature's decision I'll have freedom instead.
Until last winter when a bullet decided her fate
The pups are all grown and gone from the den
And I'm too old and stubborn to start over again.
But forever searching for a friend like you
It's so hard to express but I'll try if I can
In your own words "hey I love you man".
My little hiding place keeps getting smaller
If you don't come to your senses sometime soon
Then who will be left to howl at the moon? The Call of the Wild by Unknown Author <
He's been pushed from state to state thru the years.
But now we know him now we understand,
The fragile balance between nature and man.
And each and every child should have the chance
To listen to the call of the wild.
Have told the stories of this nobile one.
Proud as an eagle and free as the wind,
And you can hear him if you only listen.
And each and every child should have the chance
To listen to the call of the wild.
