Good Boy

Good Boy

A Poem by JR

Kept like a pet

at arm’s length

always on a chain

tagged and neutered

trained to do a trick to

impress the neighbors

impress the children

impress the workers

impress the friends

chase off the monsters

chase off the loneliness

howl off the fear

howl off the doubt

help lift

heavy things

help find home

but always on a chain

at arm’s length

kept like a pet

And I hate pets bounded with chains and cages including zoo!
We humas are also very entertaining so shall some of us be tied up in limitations too? My question to all pet loving dictators...
Loved your take on innocent lives, Be blessed.
