whisper words wisely when walking with wolves
lest the sharpness of your tone turn you into dinner.
Look them in the eye when you tell them honest lies
and never ever feed them from your plate.
Those pack traveling, vicious cowards,
there is strength in numbers even for the savage.
Cover your back at all times, at all cost
and never sleep among them.
Take the time to tally tricky truths,
borrow their wisdom but leave the blood.
Travel in a homegrown flock
and remain unmarked by their scent.
