Chased from the world I once shared with man,

Now I must seek asylum where I can.

Blamed for so many things I've never done,

They point andsay "there, he's the one."

Once like the buffalo my numbers were great,

But now for some company I constantly wait.

My sleep is filled with my dreams of a day gone by,

And each day I awake with a tear in my eye!

They call me a predator, they don't understand,

I'm simply a hunter with no gun in hand!

I desire no trophy to hang on my wall,

But just a full belly when the night starts to fall.

Envious of my dog cousins and their masters love,

And howling with lonliness to the Heaven above.

Though I long for touch or a pat on the head,

By nature's decision I'll have freedom instead.

Married for life to such a beautiful mate,

Until two years ago her decision decided our fate!

The pups wil soon be grown and gone from the den,

And I'm too old and stubborn to start over again.

But forever searching for a friend like you,

I pray only just get through.

It's so hard to express but I'll try if I can,

In your own words "hey, I love you man."

As your world grows and buildings get taller,

My littl hiding place keeps getting smaller.

If you don't come to your senses soon,

Then who will be left to howl at the moon?
