Poem -
LAST MOMENTS (dog/cat meat trade)
Even thoughΒ
They'd hurt her
Handled her roughly
Rammed her
And crammed her
Into a stinking cage
She still had hope
Did not understand
The intention
The rope
And in her last moments
Before the fire
And knife
Before she was beat
Before she was skinned
And they cut off her feet
She rememberedΒ
Love
TheΒ joy of a bone
The scent of her dinner
Walks by the river
Her good loving home
And being so loyal
Understanding
So tolerant
So dog
She still had hope
Humans were friends
To be greeted with joy
Companions in life
The rope just a toy
And so
In her last moments
When he unlocked her jail
She greeted him warmly
And
She wagged her tail.
(Marion Price) 2017

No it's my beloved Amber...gone a few years and it's a photo of a photo....she was a beautiful dog, phot doesn't do her justice as you have noticed..lol. Don't want to post graphic all the time....thanks for reading and liking Tony, so many turn away....very best Christmas wishes to you ?
And by the way Tony...this verse was inspired by an actual undercover video where a dog did actually wag it's tail at its captor before it was tortured and killed. Broke me then...breaks me now ??
Only just found your first comment, thankyou it's so wonderful to get feedback....and yes, written from my heart as explained in previous comment. All the images are bad but on a daily basis we find ways of coping but now and again something breaks...I'm finding poetry a wonderful way of processing these feelings. Hugs to you Tony x
amazingly beautifully written, so sad to read.
Thankyou poetessDARKLY ( love the name). It expresses (I hope) the last moments of a meat dogs life as viewed in an undercover clip. The poor dog really did wag it's tail before they tortured it(dog/cat meat trade) it broke me for weeks. Thankyou for your comment and feedback β€οΈβ€οΈ
