THE BOY CRIED WOLF

the lone boy

a loner who becomes his own bestfriend 

no one to share his thoughts with

just him, himself and his cattles 

he walks miles and miles just to explore 

his only companion was his sunda stick

for his shadow never deserts him

always behind him, and at times ahead

nature was his crony

cause it resonates with his spirit 

and gives him finest weather 

so he can survive 

wolves have once attacked 

but he stood his ground 

protecting his cattles 

allowing none of them to become victims 

they obeyed him

they understood different sounds and signs

they quietly walk the paths he wants 

and graze on the land he so wishes 

little by little they multiply 

and never strayed from his side

for they know their protection is from him

he is their god while nature tutors him
