Black Dog Behind the Fence

The black dog behind the fence
Against mean kids has no defense
Throwing stones and poking sticks
They get their daily torture fix

The black dog behind the fence
Too soon will have her recompense
All she has to do is wait
When master does not lock the gate

    Yep..the day will arrive when pay back will be a bitch and their won’t be anytime for sorry.

  • This is what frightens “them” the most – that the dog may already be coming through the gate. xo

    A really fabulous and creative poem Helen
    Simple lines that deliver the ugly complexities of societal attitudes that makes the world sicker than many realize me thinks…..
    You say what needs to be said….I admire you so much for this…xx

  • Thank you Arcadia. I must say what must be said. xo
