Wolves On Leashes...

As some sniff to find their niches
hear the wolves that run so free
Dogs all kept upon their leashes
dreaming of the wolves they'd be

Untethered dogs are bound to roam
for banal stagnation is not their home
At heart they live as wolves on leashes
despite the tame their trainer teaches

Some dogs stay without a tether
bound by something else to stay
Some form packs and bind together
others wander-off alone and stray

When dogs are cornered under threat
the wolves comes out in teeth and growls
For some things blood just can't forget
their truth escapes their muzzled jowls

The wolves remaining wild and free
are content to meet survival's needs
They're not the devils some might see
nor angels for the heart that bleeds

These wild wolves are on leashes too
that hold them far from normal view
And when they venture in too close
wolves get trapped and turn morose

The world is full of wolves on leashes
some being led while others lead
They all abide what their tether teaches
To the length you're bound you must concede
