Rex and Eva 2 strays

Circumstances change of course that’s very very true
That’s why we have contingencies
To help us safely through
If we have a business and animals to feed
Whatever happens
Clearly we have to take the lead
We have to be responsible we can’t just walk away
Forget we chained them to some fence
And they are there all day

They are thinking caring breathing souls
And they depend
On us to give them sustenance
Afterall we are their friend
We must ensure their comfort
Their food their drink and see
That they are given welfare
And of course some constancy

They are not machinery
They are created souls
They feel the love they need us
Each has their respective roles
They are now your guard dogs
They were once just strays
But they gave you their loyalty
And paid in so many ways

And now you have moved your offices
And they are left to be
Chained up now most of the day
And hurt emotionally
Torn between the stresses
Cut up about it all
And rex a highly charged canine
He rapidly does fall

Down into a low state
And begins to bite and be
Aggressive as he sees his freedom
Missing tragically
Laying in his own shit
With no real place to go
Just take the weather as it comes
And have nothing to show

No pats no love no freedom
Just kicks and that rotten chain
That cuts into his neck
And gives him lots of pain
The itch becomes a scratch
The scratch become a sore
He sucks and bites and sucks just like
He never did before

And so the sores get bigger
And he’s laying in his mess
Infection is a worry
As is the continued stress
And all the while the owners
Think nothing of his plight
And he just gets no food at all
Which we know just can’t be right

Before he had a clean cage
Still locked up outside
But as a stray he would spend
His day
In there it’s not denied
But since the owners moved a way
What now can he do
Chained up going no where
And feeling so blue

The security guards can remember
Sometimes to let him free
To let him run around the yard
And explore a bit and see
For chained up like a prisoner
Facing the wrath of rain
Of inclement conditions
Can drive a dog insane

Human beings have to be humane
In what they do
Not forget the servant dogs
Who have worked their butts off too
They do the job they are not paid for
And need some affection too
Or they will just go down and down
Not knowing what to do

Greece seems very difficult
Economically
Aspropyrgos not far from Athens
One must take a view
One must try to help these two dogs
Languishing in this yard
And the owners should be brought to account
For the dogs employed to guard

I hope to god a solution is found so they can be
Rehoused and just looked after
And the owners made to see
They have to fund their living
They cannot just walk away
And we just hope it happens
Hopefully today.

As to other owners
Who take animals on they must
Realise the need to care
We must not be unjust
Negligence it hurts them
Cruelty is sad
Leaving them to suffer
And driving them quite mad

Is not what we should be doing
We owe it to them to
Love them give them lots of carEveryone of you
Who has a soul to look after
Then let us do it well
In sickness and it health
Never make their existence hell
