What do you think this poem is about?

The Cold Snow

The cold snow
fell upon the memories
and whited out the pain.
And the hungry wolf
looks out across the frozen tundra
and forgets his pain,
dreaming of a warm summer rain,
only to go out
and kill again...
knowing inside is trapped
the lamb in wolf clothing

    Chilling. So savage it is to go back into the world and try to be what others perceive you to be! !

    Who knows the spirit of wolf channeled to the lamb....To give strong spirit to the lamb surviving the hardest challenge, and also an advantage for the lamb to not be attacked by other, real wolf....unless one of the wolves caught the lamb (wolf in the disguise) having grass salad hahahaha...joking! it's show a little thing can be as something we never expect too....who know that cold snow actually can burn, as coldest thing can burn your skin..and it's fact..two sided life is dangerous! _Unwritten Soul
