Red Wolf Poems Wordle #31:
To use the given words and to include
the phrase 'every song must end'

The given words:

grit spirit raw pulsing dying Bodhisattva

void legerdemain parasites reflected dusk

legerdemain: cunning deception or trickery
Bodhisattva: a being that compassionately
refrains from entering nirvana in order to
save others and is worshiped as a deity 

Real Toads:  youth and age

Youth and age at opposite ends of the spectrum

Surviving with true grit of the untested and young

but balanced by the spirit of the experienced soul

Raw nerves employed of activities physical in nature

pulsing at fast rate of adrenalin flow of the young

Matched by the aged afflicted with chronic diseases

sometimes dying but ever willing to act like the

deity Bodhisattva stalking with a pure heart

extending a wealth of kindness to those blessed

Mankind is not conveniently compartmentalized

age-wise though for the void in between may well be

filled by elements prone to legerdemain tendencies

The parasites of society are reflected in ills
of human failings

The dusk of the day brings to a finality of the day’s

failings to hide in the darkness of nights and to

commence the next day their nefarious ventures

unless and until restrained or cut short by the arms

of the law.

Only then will humanity be spared though

invariably sufferings of the deprived would still

be sustained for another day
.

But poetic justice or justice as a whole will

ultimately triumph as Providence is a fair

Equalizer so that is how eventually

‘every song must end.’
