ODE TO MAGNIFICENCE
(Louise du Toit — 02-24-2012)
I am wolf
I am
the true spirit
of nature
a perfect creation
walking beside you
guiding your senses
to see
the invisible
I am
a predator
preserving
the delicate balance
of nature
a sentient being
no more evil or righteous
than any other creature
born with everything
I need to survive
I am
intelligent
courageous
strong
a true survivor
devoted to my family
loyal to my pack
the defender of my territory
Mankind
has chosen me
as its enemy
lack of knowledge
brought fear
bred hatred
enveloped
in a dark cloud
of demonic imagination
Like countless
other earthlings
I am shamelessly
persecuted
My true destination
will only become visible
when humans
discard their
imaginary fear
false legends
phantasmal myths
to seek the truth
