Enter the wolf
Cruel staring eyes
Burning with hunger

Enter the lamb
Soft, supple flesh
The screaming victim

Why do men wonder?
What is so strange?
When lamb meets wolf the lamb comes willing
To be engulfed by carnivorous jaws
Why should the wolf deny that
Which its very nature demans

Do you understand?
Probably not
You are neither wolf nor lamb
But the stealthful lynx
Masterful and cunning

Children playing in the street
Killed by Tandem truck
Is it so shocking?

From the Darkness someone calls out,
Just to know what this life is all about,
I see the faint outline of someone walking on the shore,
Sometimes I catch sequences of dreams, oh to remember more.

I Swam towards that fading light,
If I had but know that was to be my plight,
"You should stay safe within this place,
You'll be better off this way" said the Handsome Face.

Is it any wonder I'm still here,
in this place full of fear?
Escape at this juncture would be futile,
