They didn’t speak much
But there was no need to
They were selfish
Anything but selfless
They got things done
Tied every knot
Made no noise
Only thought a lot

Outcasts
Predators

Where are they from?
Where do they go
They thrive in the depth of night
Sharp teeth, fur head to toe
Not human, inhumane
These wild kids could not be tamed

They hurt their families, lost their homes
The middle of the forest is where they go
They live in trees
Sleep under leaves
Never a worry
Of who to please

But don’t get me wrong
They are not frightened
Because they are safe
Protected
By each other’s presence
Enlighted
