Poem -
DOOMSDAY DOG
a dog howls...
see's his people leave
he barks now, lost...
beyond bereaved...
he cannot go
he knows it so
he scratches manic
at the pane
he howls and barks
he sees them leave
a backward glance
beyond bereaved
he cannot go
they know it's so
he scratches crazy
at the glass
the dog cries out
beyond bereaved
all broken...sees...
his people leave
he cannot leave
he knows it's so
he scratches manic
with the pain
he cannot go
he knows it so
he howls his love
just so they know

I really enjoyed this piece Marion. A different perspective on the atrocities that are being committed.Β
Well written - Syd xoΒ

It's all so sad Syd...but this is what we get when we put rich old age pensioners in power in every country in the world when they should probably be in nursing homes!!!πππ
The dogs of war are barking indeed.Β
Yea...poor bastards ππ
This is not only of the moment but sadly takes more than just a peek at an aspect of war that often goes unnoticed .. I feel like someone just kicked me in the gut ................................................................... Neville x
Sorry Nev...it struck me that probably most of the pets were left behind. Unthinkable and too bloody tragic. I have finally reviewed your book by the way, I hope it is good enough...strangely though I can spout words left right and center on here I find it hard when what I write has implications for someone else. In the end I was just honest and said it was bloody fantastic...cos it is x
Unfortunately M I fear you may be right .. Folk often behave in extreme & unexpected ways when they feel their back is against the wall & are scared shitless .. That is not an excuse though but an observation I have witnessed myself a couple of times in what were then essentially danger zones ..................................................................................... and although I have not yet rushed to check that very kind review of yours, be sure I will asap & thank you here and now for it ...........Β Neville x
Β I know...I'm not criticising them, I cannot imagine the horror of being in that situation and they really wouldΒ have had no choices left at all, it's just...well the mind can't help projecting itself into similar scenarios...what a nightmare. Don't worry...I don't need a review of the review, I just wanted you to know that i've done it that's all πππ
and I wasn't trying to teach me grannie to suck eggs ......... still, I'm gonna thank you again, just for the hell of it .............Β x
