wolf

The Chandelier
cracked
at its
conception

sandwich
left
half eaten
laid
beside
her
bruised
body

Prey
to
a mistaken
unlocked
door

The detective
doubts
her
recollection
of the 
events

Victim
created
in silence

Victim
resurrected
from
an
authority's
unbelief

Crusader
to justice
reporting
what is 
right

left a 50
something
passed over
to
promotion

Decades to
exemplary
service
forgotten
to
a 20 something
with
no
experience

The predator
controls
not only
from a physical
advantage
sometimes
it
is
from
a position
of power

Being violated
comes
in different
forms

When one
is
robbed
of self dignity
stripped
of decency
A
Rape
in some form
has
occurred

Human compassion
abandons
values
that were
taught
from youth

Self inflated
egos
breeds
evil doers
who do not
object 
to a
"Prisoner's Dilemma"

On Sunday
though
they will
partake
in communion
dressed
in a wool
suit
Yet when
they
sing
during
the offering
a hint
of
a
howl
can be
detected
in their
voice
