Dedicated To Two New Friends,
A Boy and A Dog
“The worst sin towards our fellow creatures,
Is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them,
That’s the very essence of inhumanity.”
George Bernard Shaw
There seems to be no end now
To the pets being tossed away
We found this homeless canine
Aimlessly wandering yesterday
Suffering from heat exhaustion
Starving, and so extremely sad
What we are doing to pets today
Is now making me extremely mad
Dozens of people just ignored him
Others, gave him a very cold stare
It was very evident he needed help
But most people simply did not care
He finally got some help from a boy
Who provided him shelter in his yard
This lost soul was very grateful to him
Life on the streets is hopeless and hard
This cast-a-way belongs to an ancient breed
Once upon a time, even revered by royalty
Today, we just toss him away, like garbage
I sadly wonder when we lost our humanity
We drove this deserving dog to the vet for a checkup
He is suffering from an eye infection, and malnutrition
This very compassionate boy is now taking care of him
I hope and pray this lost soul’s desperate days are done
“When a man (or a young boy)
Has pity on all living creatures,
Then only, is he noble.”
Buddha
Please Be As Noble,
As This Young Man;
Help Our Homeless Pets,
Any Way That You Can.
