7718 Leashed Passion
[by S. David] [art by Laurie Lipton]

They are
Barbarians
After all
Have to be
Civilized
Have their
Passions
Leashed in
Learn to
Accept
Society’s
Limitations
A long process
An entire
Childhood
And not always
Effectively
Imaginary
Playmates
Of all types
And species
And even with
Loving families
There are
Temper
Tantrums
Destructive
Urges and
Imaginations
That run wild
And free
