I now live in an alien land. <br />My country has changed <br />from a caring, compassionate society <br />to one whose people feed off each other <br />like piranhas in an ever shrinking pool. <br />Take heed - don't wade in. <br />If the piranhas don't get you, <br />the mire around them will.<br /><br />jerry hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mire-1996-2007/
