Why does he do that?
Why does the ignorant predator
Pick up the injured prey
Then reach over a cliff
And let it fall
Deep down
Into the
Abyss.
The Wolf thinks it is ok,
If he even thinks of the poor animal at all.
It is nothing to him anymore
The Wolf’s body is nothing but
An empty skeleton looking for
Some sort of support.
Just like a puppet hanging from
Frayed Strings.
Getting plucked
One by
One.
Until the puppet also falls
Over the cliff
And down into
The deep
Abyss.
And just before he knows it,
The wolf will become the prey,
Be dropped and descend
Into the Deep
Abyss.

I was told to write a poem about anger in class one day and I tried to portray bullying in my piece.
