Just a faint little whisper Just a tiny little cry Of a body that has been gone for years But the spirit never dies
It is the year 2001, the year we said we`d change. I didn`t think that change would be toward evil. Because we dread our own end we kill others in our wake. We tread upon the sacred ground of the Wolf Spirit and his clan. Now they no longer live here. They no longer live anywhere.
In our means of empowerment we take those lives we have no permission to to empower our egos. And now the word of Wolf is just a legend A myth, a folklore.
Around the campfire is 2010, they tell of the wolf, who may or may not have existed. We see the fascination in the eyes of our kids and when they ask if wolves were real we have to lie and say `no`. Then the question of where did the dog come from arises. Now we can`t hide behind our failure Now we say `yes` that the wolf did exist. It was us, it was us!! Who took them away.
Now our kids` cold stares burn through our souls to leave an everlasting mistrust that we ourselves were to blame.

About this poem:
Written 12-02-2000. In the days of a lot of wolf controversy. It`s a look at all of earth`s destructions and knowing we`re to blame, we can`t hide the truth from the next generations to come. The truth has to come out sooner or later.

Thankyou, I like this one, I often wonder what future generations are going to inherit, and whether we will start to admit collective responsibility, and come out of denial, or really watch as mankind presses the self destruct button, while we all take turns in saying, "It wasn't me".......Well written, thankyou!

Liked this and is all true of every generations failures I think. Still a faint whisper as always of good things that happen too, Hard balancing act has our earth!!
