THE WOLF

Everyone of us has a wolf within.
It howls. It growls. It's hungry.
I want what I want when I want it.
I want what I want today and every day

Everyone of us has a wolf within.
Okay some enlarge it, calling it,
"the elephant in the room" or small
it - calling it "the snake in the grass".

Everyone of us has a St. Francis within.
It's us with courage. It's us when we are
our best self - an instrument of peace.
It's us when we are fair with each other.
