'Listen' He said
Dress proper 
For boys are wolves that howls
At the sight of the moon
'Listen' He said
Don't talk with wolves
The teeth they hide will bite
At the sight of a vunerable prey
'Listen' He said
Do not walk on your own
A little girl will be drenched in red
Because wolves will devour her

Listen, listen, listen, LISTEN!
This little girl is going to wear white
Never ever will it be stained
Not even a speck of dust will be spotted
This little girl
Will tame the wolves
The alpha of all alphas

But Alphas are just for male
He said

No!
Can't you see
A pack of wolves are trailing behind me
MY PACK
Heads down as submission
They bare teeth at my enemies
Howls at my victory
I AM THE MOON
The moon you never saw

Because in your eyes
The night is full of darkness
YOU are the little red riding hood
Running aimlessly in the forest
Spreading warnings and restrictions
When the only one who needs
TO LISTEN
Is you
