All the animals are in a Zoo... The only one outside...is you! And yet, there are times when I feel that people are being Zoo-kept as well...where every move we make is orchestrated, and like the rats in the maze...the bell rings, and off we go...or like race horses, who fight being put in the chutes, but when the bell clangs...off they run. If you don't believe this...watch TV for a while, and you will see that we are being put in the chutes too...every day of our lives! ! When it becomes a struggle to find a patch of woodland to walk about in freedom in, then the chutes will be full.......

Ted - Darwin's survival of the fittest is now dependent on avoiding human 'civilization' and hiding out with the few animals that are left. Well done! Cheryl

'Yet thirst is still thirst no matter how much you quench it'.. thank God you said it - cause i was about to! A very effective piece, Ted. Dramatic, poised language. Comforting in a strange way. best care. ~~sjg
