# Don't kill the wolf

Author: Randar

&nbsp;

The low murmur of chants&nbsp;  
And the slow tempo of the drums,&nbsp;  
The Indian braves dance around the fire&nbsp;  
As the wolf spirit comes.&nbsp;  
The slight bellow of a howl&nbsp;  
Off in the distance you hear,&nbsp;  
The wolf and Indian are brothers&nbsp;  
To each, they show no fear.

They respect one another&nbsp;  
Because they share the same land,&nbsp;  
The Indian learns from the wolf&nbsp;  
The lessons he keeps at hand.&nbsp;  
The wolf is strong and stealth&nbsp;  
In his characteristic ways,&nbsp;  
His howl lets you know&nbsp;  
It is the end of the day.

The wolf was many&nbsp;  
As in the days of old,&nbsp;  
But now there are few&nbsp;  
That stand so bold.&nbsp;  
The white man shows fear&nbsp;  
So with fear, he kills,&nbsp;  
Thus, he builds up the land&nbsp;  
With all his skills.

The white man doesn't understand&nbsp;  
Why the wolf kills,&nbsp;  
He too has to survive&nbsp;  
With his instincts and skills.&nbsp;  
The more man builds the land&nbsp;  
The more he takes away,&nbsp;  
The wolf has no where to go&nbsp;  
Where is his prey?

His prey is the white man's&nbsp;  
Chickens, cattle, or sheep,&nbsp;  
He attacks them unexpected&nbsp;  
When the white man goes to sleep.&nbsp;  
Thus, it has made man mad&nbsp;  
When he saw the tracks,&nbsp;  
It was a dog like animal&nbsp;  
For they ran in packs.

They felt threatened and scared&nbsp;  
By the wolves periodic attacks,&nbsp;  
They're surely vicious&nbsp;  
When they run in packs.&nbsp;  
But whose fault is this&nbsp;  
Is it man or beast?&nbsp;  
We all have to survive&nbsp;  
To say the least.

But in order to survive&nbsp;  
We all have to share,&nbsp;  
By giving of something&nbsp;  
And to show you care.&nbsp;  
Let's save the wolf&nbsp;  
And respect his needs,&nbsp;  
He's not a real threat&nbsp;  
Give back, on what he feeds.

There's a senseless slaughter  
Going on these days,  
Of killing wolves and&nbsp;  
Keeping them at bay.&nbsp;  
This can be stopped&nbsp;  
But not without your voice,  
Let's save the wolves&nbsp;  
Make the right choice.
