His defence was the dog
Was attacking his child
Rabid and forceful
And very wild
That’s why his boy
Took a stick to the hound
And beat him to death
Where the poor soul was found
His little head caved in
Bloodied and gone
Somebody’s pet
The light always shone
When this little soul
Showed his love every day
It was so out of character
What the sons dad did say
The dog was so cute
Always happy to play
So attacking this boy
One could say no no way
It’s such a sad excuse
Such a monstrous attack
Clearly it happened
There is no way back
Was it done out of spitefulness
Or did this hound
Just go for the boy
When he came round
Was it perception of fear
Who can say
Whatever happened
The dog had to pay
Karma will catch up
Anubis does know
If the boy did this
It’s going to grow
Like cancer inside him
And it will come out
What he did in anger
And What It was about
It’s hard to see through
This maze of lies
It’s always so frightful
When a pet dies
For whatever reason
But all I can say
Is there are too many psycho’s
Around here today
All of these war games
This frightful stuff
Where zombies are blown up
I have had enough
And children these days
Seemingly think that they
Can bash in the heads
Of pets in their way
This is a story
Who knows really why
This little dog
Really had to die
Who is the monster
The dog or the child
Or the bloody media
Who has defiled
All of the children
Drip drip every day
On our I pads and pc’s
We are blowing away
Zombies and bad guys
Transformers and stuff
And Frankly I have to say
I’ve had enough
This poor little dog
Took a beating and died
How it happened and why
It’s appears it’s denied
