How Dare You? Poem by Nuku Desmond

Fangs lashing
You hold on for dear life
Suffocating her
My guardian
My friend
...my mother
How dare you?
She was your leader
Queen of the pack
She helped to lead you
Hide you from humans
Their judgemental gaze
How dare you attack her?

Now my fangs are on your muzzle
Blood dripping along your snout
Protecting bone will not stop me
A soft spot is all I need
To bring you down
'How dare I? '
You ask?
The true question is...
How dare you?
