The Cost of Evolution

Black wolves reigned 
While the earth was rich
And no greater animal new it's strength
Life was consistent 
And meaning 
was meaningless

Packs were of six or more
And time served no purpose 
As goals were singular
And dreams
Were for leaders

They often came with scars
But those who saw stars
Would be granted the gift of strength
And the curse of destruction 

A single independent act
Caused the pack
To loose it's reign 
And steal the mothers riches 
As she died while in child birth
To a red wolf
