Why take on a puppy
and have the gall to say
to leave it tied up on some balcony
outside yea the whole day
several days some workmen noticed
it there and it had not been fed
so they gave it some water
and to him they said
“you must take care of your dog mate”
why have a dog if you
are not prepared to look after it
its what anyone would do
but it seems he took the dog away
and the next time that they saw
him he was carrying a duffle bag
when he came out of his door
and he threw it in a dumpster
when one workman took a look
the dog was in there wet through
and of course the workman shook
it seems the guy had took the dog
and put it in a dishwasher machine
and put it through its cycle
thats where he had been
he killed that dog he set out to relieve
that pup of life
imagine how that puppy felt
imagine all that strife
of being stuck into some place
and drowned in a boiling stew
then bundled up and thrown away like trash
what could you do
absolutely helpless
beside yourself with woe
and this creep who your loyal to
doesn’t want to know
in fact he wants to do away
with you the suffering there
this arse must be imprisoned
and just kept flipping there
he must never be able to keep another animal
and that is that
get a hefty fine
and down the line
know where he’s at
the world is clearly mental
anmal’s everywhere
are subjected to such evil
and of some humans, I despair
