Good people
The world is full of wolves.
And more wolves pretending to be
sheep;
wicked, heartless, manipulative...
deceitful, arrogant, greedy -
good people
...
but somehow I luckily managed to pick up needles
from a bloody haystack-
Somehow I managed
to come across
good people.

I hope you always run across good people. You are such a sweetheart and do not deserve the suffering of bad people. :)

I hope so too myself... but I don't think that is possible with my multitudes of sin. bad people will always take me as one of their own, sadly...haha

I like the way you make contrasts within the poem, like "arrogant, greedy . . . good people."
This adds to the poem's stark quality, almost abbreviated quality, which is ingenious. Thanks for pointing out our good qualities, too. Too many people, poets' included, spend too much time on the negative.

there are not just wolves in sheeps clothing, but sheep in sheep's clothing who do nothing but bow down to the wolves. sometimes the "bad" people are the good people because they are not pretending to be good.
