The death of a dog in the street (Sulawesi)

The death of a dog
just a normal street scene
fags in their mouths
the manner obscene
grabbed by the throat
in so much pain
pulled through the wires
all of that strain

and hit with a cudgel again
and again
its cries break the heart
its cries tear the soul
its cries in my eyes
I have tears
its in vain

the poor dog is suffering
yet more hard blows
this lout of man
in his heart he knows
nothing, he does this
when ever he’s sold
a dog for some body
that’s when he’s rolled

in egregious cruelty
that’s when he turns
from a humane being
that’s when he learns
to be a sick arse hole
as evil as any
and observe that wire cage
inside there were many

turns
