There is a need for better understanding and treatment of this special animal. |
A Wolf’s Prayer Oh Lord, what have I done to deserve such a fate? I am hunted by humans who want me to die. A peaceful place to roam, I cannot seem to locate. I was put on this earth with a beautiful mate. I wander through the wilderness under the starlit sky. Oh Lord, what have I done to deserve such a fate? In spring comes helpless babies, who the pack must educate. Their daily play brings strength and growth that later they will apply. A peaceful place to roam, I cannot seem to locate. We help nature to balance when the other animals over populate. Weak deer or moose cold hunters would us greedily deny. Oh Lord, what have I done to deserve such a fate? We are hunted by the air and our pups poison gas does asphyxiate. Loving parents who are out hunting cannot hear their children’s dying cry. A peaceful place to roam, I cannot seem to locate. I wish there was a better way to end man’s cruel, intense hate. I say that the world is for all and in harmony we should occupy. Oh Lord, what have I done to deserve such a fate? A peaceful place to roam, I cannot seem to locate. This is a villanelle poem. It has 5 tercets and 1 quatrain. The rhyme scheme is A1-b-A2, a-b-A1, a-b-A2, a-b-A1, a-b-A2, a-b-A1,A2. |
