I’m man’s best friend, a lovely wee pet
The sweetest dog you will ever have met
I’m loyal to my owners, I’m shared and enslaved
Yet their affection for me goes beyond the depraved
I’m tame, I seem happy, they think it’s my choice
I make a great victim as I don’t have a voice
Too scared to run, I appear so content
The result of dark actions that require no consent
The place I call home is now filled with regret
For who could abuse such a lovely wee pet?

Hi Lesley, I was going to leave a comment on the community pool but the comments are closed. What a nice but heartbreaking poem. Your writing is good.
If animals in general that are kept as pets could communicate using human speech, I’m sure that is what some of them would say if they were poorly treated. It’s truly a sad indictment that some human beings mistreat their pets or animals in their care.

This poem made me almost cry. No one should abuse their pets. Just because they don’t speak the way we do doesn’t mean they wouldn’t say anything!
