A pack of humans
Destructive creatures
Hunt more than the world could feed them.
Stumbling came the young mammoth
Charge again but no ivory to bare.
I hang back
The hunt never for me
An arrow loosed and missed.
A white wolf caught it
Paw to nose
Hunt occupied I quietly rose
Up the slope to great this message
I removed my arrow
And begged forgiveness.
Off through the snow he ran
Leaving blood
I could not stand
To watch my pack
Take his coat home
I covered the blood
And went alone.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
