A young man who killed his friends dogs
and then he
posted his exploits on face book
for free
gloating apparently at what he’d done
to “Meryl” and “Fluffy”
his friend was the son
for both were his mums’ dogs
Meryl she wee’d
on his bed
when he slept over
and that did lead
to him breaking her windpipe
with his bare hand
clearly in his head
he could not understand
“Fluffy” he used as a ball in the air
tossing her higher
think of the despair
the dog being caught and tossed
up in the air
till he missed and down on the floor
unaware
he went out and came back
and the dog it was dead
so he took both dogs
out of the house
so he said
down near the canal he chucked
them away
posting his exploits
so he did say
the police have arrested him
and his own mum
has said he was mental
and clearly quite numb
to what he was doing
and how it was wrong
but again and we see it
so many belong
to a procession of psycho’s
they are in our midst
anything innocent
they can’t resist
the increase in animals
tortured this way
is rising dramatically
every day
so many nut cases walking the streets
animals ,children, women
it beats
me how society fails them
for they
do become victims
almost every day
their freedom to murder
has to be cut
he needs a cell
where the door is kept shut
and medication for clearly
he will
if given the chance
more blood he may spill
