Sounds Of The Night

Sounds of the Night
As darkness consumes the night, the jungle calls
The moon illuminates the night sky,
Coyotes lurk catching goats and chickens who lost their way home,
Balancing the Social Theory, the jungle calls

Howling erupts without warning, the jungle calls
A unison pitch set by the alpha and the others join in,
They stop, all at the same time and start again,
Rain begins pouring and the howling ceases, the jungle calls

The pounding and thundering of the rain fills the night, the jungle calls
Frogs croak their majestic song, bathing in the rain,
Leaping from puddle to puddle and splashing around joyfully,
The rain brings a cooling breeze through the air, the jungle calls

A whimpering dog begins to whine, the jungle calls
Targeted as the weakest, it becomes the next meal,
Cries and shrills of pain echo in the stale dark night and suddenly all is silent,
The weaker has been slain and the stronger prevailed, the jungle calls
