Florina West Macedonia the problems of stray dogs

The dogs of Florina
are suffering so
starving for days on end
out of the flow
ribs jutting skywards
eyes doleful, they
wait for some food
lost souls today

there appears little hope
that this state of affairs
will improve economically
it kind of tears
lumps out of one’s psyche
witness the grief
the pain and the evil
that beggars belief

one incident recently
in front of the mayor
one of the workers
clearly aware
dragged a large dog
on a rope around its neck
strangling it
but no one did check

the man heard the chocking
and all he could say
was he was making some kebabs
as he drove away
in front of the mayor
its all matter of fact
nobody really can even react

its just all around them
just in their face
Florina, the mayor
they are all disgrace
with not enough money
what can they do
dogs eating dogs
in the kennels
its true

few people care anymore
they neglect
or throw out their dogs
thats how they elect
to get through the day
its a state of affairs
that should never be
but nobody cares
