The Boy and his dog ( a tragic tale)

Playing in a field with his pet dog

it seemed to be

a lovely game for a boy to play

but in Western Greece

we see

that he was approached by a shepherd

who said his dog had killed

many of the old man’s sheep

and a lot of blood he’d spilled

of course its was utter rubbish

he was mistaken when he said

the young boy though was nervous

for he had an axe  and  said

I am going to kill your dog

he was going to kill his dog

bringing the axe down on his head

the dogs head almost flew off

there was a lot of blood

how would we feel to see our dog

and hear thud after thud

blood spurting every which way

the cries went through his brain

tore into his psyche

and filled him with disdain

he had to watch his pet dog die

such a tragedy

the shepherd he was ranting on

senseless actually

he blamed it on his heart he said

and when the police came by

tried then to say he had no option

that was the reason why

he was taken away

and spent a night in hospital

but was then arrested so they say

the boy was just beside himself

12 years old and he

had witnessed someone murdering

his friend how can that be

anything but gruesome

anything but sad

he cries himself to sleep at night

what  a brave young lad

but this has seriously set him back

its a hellish sight to see

your friend your lovely friendly pet

murdered terribly

how can a 12 year old  take it in

such evil  its too much

the cries the yelps the screams

that dog chopped up  he’d tried to touch

the dog as he lay panting

his head half off but still

his eyes were looking at him

and forever perhaps they will

this shock will never leave him

how could it ever go

embedded in his memory

forever

ofcourse it will never leave him

seeing his pet dogs eyes

hearing his pet dogs whimpering

and of course his cries

and he could just do nothing

but watch in utter shock

this  shepherd clearly  a pschopath

and let hope that they lock

him up for clearly everybody

is at risk with him

taking an axe to a little boys dog

just on some mad whim

tell us he is a mental case

and needs a padded cell

somewhere he can sodding well rot

for a lengthy spell
