where the wild ones are

Wolf,crocodile,shark,spider,snake,stingray-
all that can bite and snap,devour,destroy and devastate
This is where fear limits our passage-in case
some large creature of imagined powers might kill us
as we kill without compunction.Whales of tales slapping boats
Harpoons in fact destroy their huge.Sharks hunted to extinction.
Snakes summarily executed.Tigers for their teeth(as rhinoceri
Elephants for their ivory.Every where the wild is dying
So mythmakers like Spielberg pose dinosaurs Jurassic
imaginary monsters so our fears can be justified
to kill off all that is not us/and then kill all that is..
Moby Dick ,Loch Ness Monster,Bigfoot-all lies
Like vampires,mutants,clones,replicants,robot powers
Nature must cleanse us with hurricane and Tsunami
for all her wild creatures are killed -or in captivity
