stray dog Support
an organisation
found a old cat
such discrimination
found in the street
in India where
the poor soul was beaten
in so much despair
inexcusability
unfitting and wrong
unforgivable actions
they do not belong
on this world
condemnable wicked and sick
eyes pulled out terribly
unable to lick
itself
its jaw broken its teeth broken too
imagine the agony
what do we do
the vets clearly shocked
at the state that they saw
removing the eyes
it had been through a war
of evil intent
a pitiless state
who challenged this dear soul
such viciousness see
the worst intentions
such acerbity
hearing the wretchedness
the barbarity
the poor soul has passed
And in heaven now be.
