This has been a terrible two years
Greece has lapsed in fact
so many animals slaughtered
how does the world react
the severity the rigidity
the suppression of a breed
the violence and the oppression
the pitilessness indeed
shot and poisoned
hung and tortured
crimes committed there
bodies moving in the waves
which lead on to despair
murdered thrown into the sea
to let the currents throw
bust and break these innocent souls
who are sent up from below
up trees you find them tied with wire
or hanging choked and gone
their eyes are bulging
all that pain
and just left there upon
some tree thats born from energy
and has to bear this pain
share the victims horror
all of it again
limbless cats a peering
with those doleful eyes
clearly in such terror
the look of complete surprise
of shock of being frightened
not knowing who to trust
trapped inside some hoop or can
we know how needs must
mangy strays so pitiful
flea ridden scratched alive
bleeding from vast areas
how can they survive
all this fearsome skin protuberance
all this dreadful pain
nobody seems to want them
most have gone insane
sick and dying
frightened not prepared to let
anybody near them
they were, once, somebody’s pet
but streetlife and the gutter
tempers those that do
the rounds and get the kickings
and the starvings nothings new
head rolling and banging
dormant sickly they
the whimpering breed
are hurting
lost souls in every way
Greece is shocked and dying
its people clearly are
doing things to cats and dogs
double edged they scar
Satan must be watching
Nemesis must be too
the gods are frightfully upset
and what the greeks now do
punitive and persecuted
all around the place
the third degree
it has to be
for its just one huge disgrace
I can’t start to imagine
what the animals must feel
their little faces sunken
and what that does reveal
is feeling completely let down
by the unkind sods who roam
no compassion in their spirit
no empathy in their home
running wild and feral
is seemingly the way
for animals to prosper
in a place of dark dismay
what will become of Greece
its people who knows I think they
must rot in hell the lot of them
for all this pain they pay
a price the gods reflecting
on the cruelty they see
Nemesis and Anubis enlivened
suddenly
to strike down all the perpetrators
let them understand
that the great Mother
will be marching right across the land
dealing out the agony the cruelty and the pain
and Greece may never surface
as a great Nation again
those who take their umbrage
on the animals
will suffer the most immeasurably of woe
and what we have witnessed coming out of Greece
in our hearts ofcourse we really know
they took the canine tribes
and have offended
every peaceful soul around the place
from their dark frustration
and their killing of creation
they must expect the worst
in time and space
