I am a male an alpha plus. <br /> My only purpose is to breed, <br />to sow the seeds of genius. <br /> So that my offspring will succeed. <br /> <br />I am the leader of the pack. <br /> No one is fit to take my place. <br />I have the wisdom which they lack. <br />I am the wolf who sets the pace. <br /> <br />We work together as a team <br />but I direct the strategy <br /> I have the wit to plan and scheme <br /> The other wolves defer to me. <br /> <br /> That is the way it has to be <br />As long as I am best I’ll lead. <br />Some day some pup will challenge me <br /> and hopefully he will succeed.. <br /> <br />I am a male an alpha plus <br /> but even alpha males grow old. <br /> In nature it was ever thus <br />The leadership goes to the bold. <br /> <br />I’m not the wolf I used to be. <br />I’ve had my time now I must leave. <br />The pack goes on triumphantly <br /> just as it should do I believe.. <br /> <br />To lead the pack a privilege <br /> that’s only open to a few. <br />Who have the strength and the knowledge <br /> to rule the pack as they must do. <br /> <br />A pack that lacks strong leadership <br /> will very quickly succumb to <br /> lack of direction and hardship. <br />A leader must know what to do. <br /> <br />But also know he must give way. <br /> To new leader in due course <br />He’s played the part he had to play <br /> a law that nature will enforce. <br /> <br />Only the best is fit to lead <br />life is a struggle to survive. <br />Though a strong leader will succeed <br /> ensuring that his pack will live. <br /> <br />Though leaders come and leaders go. <br />The pack remains an entity <br /> Since time began it has been so <br /> and will for ever seemingly. <br /> <br />11/06/2009 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/natural-selection-for-friend-thad/
