You're scared, I see.
Why, I ask, can't you just leave me be?
Frightened and hunted, we run.
Shot at by many a' gun.

Let's try this exercise.
Let's see what you see through my eyes.

Do you see it?
The reason for our nightly cries.
The pain of our losses...
The sting of our goodbyes?

The end of our existence is near.
You don't understand, so you choose to fear.
Now, tell me how it feels, my dear,
To lose the ones you hold so dear.

When you look at us through your eyes,
It's terrible that you don't even realize
The pain you've caused or
The severity of how we've been wronged.

It's such an abomination!
It's no wonder we fear your nation!
Humanity is not at all humane
When you satisify your needs through others' pain.

All your fears you make us symbolize
Until we're everything you despise.
Tell me now, without your lies.
Can you see what we see
Through our eyes?

I love all animals, especially wolves, and I hate to see them be hunted. I strongly oppose the hunting of wolves!!! It's not my best work, but I'm still proud of it, either way.

Everyone's crazy. You know why? We all want to be normal. Well, we cant define normal, and, the people you can point at and say, well isn't he/she normal are rare. Doesnt that kind of defeat the pupose of normal? -My Friend

Being a fellow wolf lover i will admit that i am a little biased, but i find this work incredible.
