Hounding Wolves

Who saw the wolves outside her door
Biting bitterly sinews cold
Howling wind and his intent bold
Retreating shadows in night’s core?
Did he care for blood-splattered floor
Or hurled on her bolt after bolt
Till no more her body could hold?
Did the reckless villain ignore?
Soon fate be sealed and justice served
Nation throngs with candles in hand
Protest till this culture is curbed
Together hand in hand they stand
On roads till welled-up rage is heard
Sans mercy debaucher be hanged.
