Puppy Doe (Misty)

Out there in the environment
are monsters lurking they
found this pretty little dog
and thought to make her pay
a price no living soul should ever pay
but this sweet dear
was clearly tortured every day
of her life
since she’s been here

and I do not say this lightly
for her injuries were such
a malevolence of the worst intent
there really isn’t much
worse that could be done
to this poor wretch I have to say
and the people and I use that loosely
did it in such a way

that that animal was suffering
in every conceivable stance
hunched over in extraordinary pain
she never had a chance
healing was impossible
because clearly every day
she was subjected to the torture
she just could never play

joy was taken from her
stolen in such a way
a systematic release of anger
and woefulness I’d say
starved of food and water
dehydrated as hell
full of inflammation
with a most peculiar smell

all her bones had been stretched
until they pulled apart
and done without anaesthesia
it must have broke her heart
for somebody to do this
they just cannot be sane
to exact this on a puppy dog
with this degree of pain

and to continue with this
day and night
broken and forlorn
both eyes stabbed
and its body jabbed
it must have questioned
why it had been born
and to cap it all the
brutality didn’t actually end there
in her tongue they had carved a serpent
and burned her everywhere

I cannot believe these injuries
that anyone alive
today would be so nasty
and that this soul did survive
an ordeal of this nature
and when found was still alive
one imagined she’s have been run down
but in fact that wasn’t so
she’d been given a hiding
and must have wanted,just to go
anywhere just to leave this place
just to turn off the lights and be
saved from any more mayhem
and just sleep for eternity

as for the perpetrators
whoever and wherever they are
clearly they are very disturbed
need to be caught a scar
upon all of humanity
to create this vile extreme
and to punish a little puppy dog
it makes me want to scream

and anyone who hears this
imagines all the grief
exacted on a puppy dog
it is beyond belief
how could you do this
innocence was all that puppy knew
and to have carried out these dreadful acts
there is no hope for you
