Why is a wolf an honorable creature and the werewolf a terror?

Tragedy of the Wolf

9 Oct 2011

Wolves are loyal and work together
Their one mate is for the rest of life
They attack only for food or when threatened
So why is the werewolf so full of strife

A wizard chose the wolf for its honor
Thinking this would greatly enhance man
But inside all men is the touch of the devil
Even good people have something evil in their hand

The wizard brought wolf into man
The wolf’s natural freedom opened that clenched hand
All control is lost as the wolf becomes free
An unnatural beast is born from wolf and man

The wolf wizard is now long gone
But his tragedy is passed on and on
Any good man can lose control to this beast
This is an evil that seeks till ones soul is gone

    As much as it is true that they hunt for food not pleasure, I would not want to meet a wolf pack in the forest alone. A lot of people seem to want to keep

    A wonderful poem. You would not see me for long if there was wolf around.
