Wolves

They are in the world.

my loves there are wolves in the world

you will see them everywhere you go

-some will be a part of the pack

others will not

you wonder why i tell you this

you know to be cautious

-especially when about the dangerous

these wolves walk in the woods

-amongst the trees

they sit on the park benches

-next me

you expect them to be the fairy tales

bad man

-with ill intent and sneaky ways

what i want you to know

-embrace

-and use

is that the wolves

-are me and you

our ways are not bad

-just misunderstood

and to those that don't know

-or want to learn

we are what they fear

be a cautious wolf

walk carefully amongst the sheep

don't change your ways

-they are yours to keep

slowly feed those sheep

teach them about you and our pack

-let them see and and trust

-don't try to change them

as they are want to do

-embrace their differences

see them unadorned

-watch them

look not with biased eyes

see, my loves, as wolves

we are stronger

we are our pack

-at times docile

but at no time tamed

our coats are different

-no set color or coarse

unlike the sheep

-we wear them shamelessly

-and with pride

this is what scares them, my loves

our lack of desire to be as they are

so we treat them better

try to keep them safe

-because we are what they are not

wolves, they are in the world

-my loves, you now know, that those wolves

be us
