I really have to stop watching television,
Society idolizes the wrong people today;
With all the abused dogs we are finding,
This really sickens me, in so many ways.
“I really think it’s time
For me and my family
To get another dog.
I really miss them.”
Michael Vick
I just couldn’t believe my ears
When he said that in an interview
He was convicted of animal cruelty
This ‘celebrity’ makes me want to puke
He owned, and he operated, a dog fighting ring
He starved, and tortured, and electrocuted them
Because of so many people, just like this NFL ‘Star’
Animal Cruelty in our misguided nation, will never end
He should never have been allowed, to play pro football again
He should never have been allowed, to be a hero for our children
Permitting him to have another dog, should never, ever, be allowed
And, I hope his ‘celebrity status’ doesn’t make our authorities cave in
As I sadly observe what’s happening in our misguided nation, today
I can’t believe the types of human beings we teach our kids to admire
And, as I receive yet another phone call about a dying dog in an alley
My sadness and anger erupt once more, over his ‘I want a dog’ desire
I can’t even count the number of abused dogs we find these days
So many of them tortured by dog fighters, and then, tossed like trash
Most of them starving, and now, so deathly afraid of we human beings
As I sadly put another one in my truck, my faith in mankind is fading fast
