Gray Wolf at War

from The Comets Swish Their Tails by Kim Simpson

lyrics

Gray Wolf at War
So named for inner battles
Strained and troubled
Should he live for peace
Or should he fight until
His world would turn to rubble
Because anger pierced his tired ears
And evil burned into his vision daily
And he decided that a life of strict serenity
Would keep himself from ailing

Gray Wolf at War
Heard his brothers’ voices
Urging him to join them
Praising the damage
His long teeth could do and
Urging him to use them
Some days he would ask himself
If life on this earth only led toward violence
Yes, he had decided
Before pledging once again to peace and silence

Gray Wolf at War
Almost changed his ways one day
When his heart felt colder
Right at that moment
A monarch butterfly landed on his shoulder
Riding on his simple raft
And listening to the river gently lapping
If his troubled thoughts were wind
Then such an omen never could have happened
