Cruel

Such a pitiful face.

So despondent and forlorn.

He is chained to a tree

in some

arsehole front yard.

Come hail or rain, summer

or fall.

You can see

he is all skin and bones

with open sores.

Makes me

angry and mad.

Or some little

defenseless kitten

Scurring across

some busy highway

or street.

All alone and unloved.

I sometimes wonder,

why people say they love animals.

And abandoned

them.

Or keep them

but do not actually

look after them properly

or even love them.

So many unwanted and unloved

animals in this world.

Nearly every day you
see. On the news someone
being cruel to some

innocent animals.

There's no excuse for, neglect of or cruelty to, God's animals.
A meaningful and very effective piece of work, Dawn.
