I looked into the eyes of a lonesome wolf one day.

And though I tried to fight it, I could not look away.

Deep inside the golden eyes, a sadness I could see.

Trapped inside a dying breed, longing to be free.

Why does mankind abandon, nature's every will,

and hurt the one's who guard her, as if it were a thrill?

Deep inside the wolf's eyes, I could see it all,

and sadness fell upon me, as I heard his mournful call.

What does the world lonesome mean?

• Happiness

• Sadness

• Excitement
