"Wolf and The Dog

A prowling wolf, whose shaggy skin
(So strict the watch of dogs had been)
Hid little but his bones,
Once met a mastiff dog astray.
A prouder, fatter, sleeker Tray,
No human mortal owns.

I very much enjoy this poem personally. But I'm questioning your intent for posting it on this thread.
If perhaps it is meant to ensinuate that many here are like the dog, that accepts the leash in return for food, then I must express my dismay at the half truth of it. My interpretation though, is that the leash has only extended recently from your lands and culture and marks a bright yellow double arch that obsenely lights up my residential neighborhood. If you do seek a land free of dog leashes, perhaps you should look into Cuba; or maybe they just have leashes from a different master.
