White Wolves Poem by Denis Martindale

Are white wolves merely dogs to you,
While you are safe at home?
Or do you have another view
While in the woods you roam?
For wolves are out there, even now,
In woods worldwide today,
Against all odds, alive, somehow,
As long as they find prey...

Lots of films have shown a wolf pack,
The alpha male and more
And TV shows helped folks keep track,
With facts none should ignore...
White wolves are prone to foul black deeds,
When hunger takes its toll
And if each hunting skill succeeds,
They quickly lose control...

Are white wolves merely dogs to you,
Like huskies often seem?
Or were you wiser when you knew
Wolf actions proved extreme?
The wolves seem tame to humans, though,
For we build bombs and stuff,
Polluting everywhere we go
When hatred outweighs love...
