Wolf Heart

This poem is based on an old Native American folk tale.

Naughty boy on grandfather's knee
Blinded by tears trying to see
Why have I done wrong
Why was I not strong
Grandfather gently explains
Using the lore of the plains

Inside the heart of every man two wolves fight
One for the wrong and one for the right
Some times one seems to win sometimes the other
It is the same for every man and his brother

In the end grandfather which wolf will win
The one for good or the one for sin
My son that depends on your every deed
For the wolf that will win is the one that you feed
