Barking at the moon
Wild coyotes on the prowl Seeking sustenance
Been awhile snacking on tiny grub worms
Nibbling on wild berries
Watching fat geese flying south
Till the distant specks
become lost in the waning sunset
Distant scent trails carried upon the wind
Summon images of plenty
In sharp contrast to Hanger pangs
Embolden the curious mind
Quick thinking with well thought out moves
Level the playing field in practice
Survival instincts, honed evolving
Beyond painful memories of failure
Of lost souls wasting away in starvation,
Taken in warfare or left behind in natural losses
Bringing pain, misery and death
either building alliances
Or separates those Incapable or unwilling to
Make the necessary sacrifices
From further continuance in the struggle
Making a way through adversity
As opposed to that fat cat, or
Lazy dog lying by the fireplace
Dreaming of a golden bone
attended by the most desirable bit_ches
In a lofty kingdom with plentiful food
Surrounded by powerful allies
Powerful paws resting upon
a heavenly throne
but, wait All those who would be allies
Slick side glances suggest
They all desire the same
Having a sense of purpose
is relative to the nature
of the game
Having a powerful driving force
Shapes actions Which build character
Never in a lazy dogs life Does war force itself
To make hard choices a way of life
In love and war
Definition drives destiny
The hungry build alliances built upon trust
Find your mate
Stick with the tried and true
Leave the bit_ches
Where they belong
In the streets
Build your home among those
Who share your vision
Who seek peaceful solutions
Where they are found
Protect your own
In all ways that you are able
build your nest To suit your need
Leave the castles in the clouds
Until such time As your beliefs
support your dreams
Find your mate beside you
as you seek peace with one another
In all ways fair and true
