THE BIG BAD WOLF
An innocent Wolf’s name, viciously teased, mocked by Sheep,
In a prison constructed for animals of adolescence.
The Wolf cried, yet no one aided, despite his weeps
The Sheep tormented the Wolf; his suffering relentless.
The innocent Wolf was trampled, bitten, followed and shoved.
The other animals spectated; their protection never due.
The Wolf was lost and confused; all he showed was love.
A stick of trauma, and a stick of primacy alit a small flame inside that grew…
A skull was bashed;its protective skin was sliced wide open.
A snout was busted and battered; it sprinkled blood.
A degrading pair of lips once smiling, now frowning in a red flood.
And a bullying jaw, was hanging for dear life, dangling broken.
The Sheep’s torments were now goners.
The Wolf’s presence now cautiously ignored
The Wolf had no need to cry any longer.
He doesn’t need anyone’s help, not anymore.
But then, the Wolf was exiled by a Crooked Man.
And the Sheep are treated with love and care.
The Wolf was flashed as ‘Big’ and ‘Bad.’
But he was under torment; this judgement’s unfair.
Returned to the drowsy hole, the Wolf was punished and scolded,
But the Sheep remained golden, and they didn’t change.
The Wolf’s fire was now completely shaped and moulded,
And to the Mother, he confessed his desire for a repeat of the revenge…
Stalking from afar, after six years of his cunning life he was still there.
The crafty Reynard is aware of ‘The Big Bad Wolf’, a plan summons from his teeth.
It was indestructible from any foil from anyone who ever dared.
Not like his other work; this would be his greatest masterpiece…
