Abandoned thats me
\nLeft all alone
\nTied up in a blizzard
\nAnd just left to moan
\nIn Mainsworth Terrace
\nThats in Hartlepool
\nA German Shepherd
\nWhich you know as a rule<\/p>\n
I favour one master
\nAnd so now for me
\nStuck in this wet and cold street
\nI can see
\nI feel indestructible
\nI just hope I
\nCan get back inside soon
\nOut here I will die<\/p>\n
Its not fair to leave me
\nOut in the cold
\nBesides I love life
\nAnd I am not all that old
\nI have years ahead of me
\nAnd an identity
\nTrue I’ve been abandoned
\nBut quite honestly<\/p>\n
I ‘m confident someone
\nWill take me in
\nGive me a home
\nHelp me to win
\nA few years of life
\nGive me a role
\nIn their lives
\nNot end mine tied to a pole<\/p>\n
I am big I look fierce
\nI snarl so would you
\nTied to telephone pole
\nIts so true
\nAll my life i have guarded
\nPeople and now
\nI find myself begging
\nAnd I dont know how<\/p>\n
The dog with no name
\nWith no home with no hope
\nThe police the officials
\nThey cannot cope
\nNo fixed abode
\nHomeless thats me
\nAnd few around these days
\nThink laterally<\/p>\n
They misinterpret my mood
\nI can see
\nI am not aggressive
\nIts my own tragedy
\nOld and unwanted
\nThat is my fire
\nDespite life at home
\nWhich was my desire<\/p>\n
I felt that reluctance
\nTheir aversion to me
\nIt was easy to shoot
\nTo neglect and to be
\nGrudging and not prepsred
\nYes I could feel
\nThey were not disposed
\nI didnt appeal<\/p>\n
Too old in the tooth
\nWith that aged smell
\nA bit recalcitrant
\nYes I could tell
\nWhat do humans know
\nNot a lot I can say
\nWhen they have the chance
\nTo blow me away<\/p>\n
Good at excuses
\nThats what they do
\nWe have tried everything
\nThat is the clue
\nThat they had a mind
\nTo shoot me on sight
\nIt okay for humans
\nThey are, always right<\/p>\n
I expect the wise sages
\nWill argue the case
\nOn facebook and twitter
\nAll over the place
\nWrite me off shoot me
\nIts not them you see
\nEasy to talk
\nEasy to be<\/p>\n
Brave when its my life
\nThen my obstinacy
\nMy determination
\nWas just to break free
\nRun with the wind
\nBe feral a while
\nUnyielding just building
\nA brand new life style<\/p>\n
Dogged thats me
\nReady to run
\nGet to to the forest
\nHave me some fun
\nHard nosed and obdurate
\nStubborn its true
\nI dont want to die
\nSo what say you?<\/p>\n
I am aggressive
\nAnd nobody cares
\nNobody wants me
\nNobody shares
\nLives anymore
\nThey cant see my tears
\nThey cant hear my heart
\nThey dont feel my fears<\/p>\n
Bang I am dead
\nIt was the best thing
\nMy eyes closed forever
\nMy prayer on a wing
\nI was old i was homeless
\nLike many of you
\nAnd was shot by police
\nWho took the view<\/p>\n
It was best for me
\nIn the very long run
\nBang you are dead<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
