“From beasts we scorn as soulless,
In forest, city, and den,
The cry goes up to witness,
The soullessness of men.”
M. Frida Hartley
Pray that your pet will never get lost
Because very few today will help him
Some claim that we’re God’s children
Me? I think that the Devil has moved in
All the horrors I see today sicken me
As does the cruelty of our human race
And our apathy and our self-centeredness
Are now horrendously on the rise these days
This poor canine stood trembling at a school
Emaciated, starving, now barely able to stand
He was hoping for a little compassion, from us
Instead, beings like him, are now invisible to man
A hundred human beings were gathered at this school
Parents, their young children, and school teaching staff
None of them had the time or the inclination to help him
This canine in need was invisible, as they all rushed past
Luckily for him, one person took pity on this starving abandoned soul
She quickly rushed home, and she returned with some food and water
Another human soon mocked this woman for her compassionate action
“Oh, Christ! It’s only a damned dog!” and she laughed, as did her daughter
‘Old Duke,’ as we are now calling this abandoned, starving, emaciated canine
Has been taken to an animal hospital to treat his maladies and end his suffering
Today, only one in a hundred human beings seem willing to help their neighbor
We have lost our souls and we teach our children not to care; this is our humanity
A ‘Chip-In’ Has Now Been Established,
For Anyone Wishing To Help In His Care;
No Being Should Endure What Duke Has,
Yet, There Are So Many Like Him, Out There.
