That Animal. Poem by SY Wong ...

we need to get hold of that animal
in us
It holds us down sharp to the ground so we can have nightmares if we are able to sleep
We need to get hold of that animal in us pull it out like a piece of old dirty rag then only we'll look healthy and white someone everyone likes to hug or tag.
Only then we can put on a real smile

We 'll be able to exude kindness like never before with considerations of heart when that animal is out.
