The Inhumanity of Man

Poem Artwork
-->

"Once my son realized what was happening,


He reached down and said,


'Please don't take my dog.'


The man just pushed him away, grabbed Clementine,


Jumped in his van, and was gone," said the boy's father.


 


I recently posted an article about this


Now last night this story on the news


My heart broke for this boy and his dog


And I can imagine his heartache and blues


 


A young boy and his beloved little pet


Out together for a pleasant evening walk


One minute they’re enjoying themselves


The next a strange man stops them to talk


 


When the young boy realizes what’s happening


He begs the man not to take his tiny Clementine


The man who cares little for anything but his profit


Ignores the boy’s plea – pet theft is this man’s crime


 


And it’s an extremely vicious escalating American crime


Two million pets now stolen every year across this vast land


They are sold to breeders research labs and dogfighters as bait


And my sorrow and shame increases at the inhumanity of man


 


We have very sadly become a nation


Where profit seems to be our only goal


Today we even rob our innocent children of joy


And I wonder if God will have mercy on our souls

This sorrow will never be replaced...and it happens over and over and not just with pets...this first reminded me of an incident with my son...a school contest selling chocolates, he won with his determination to get his first bicycle only to be stolen by his crack-addict uncle to be sold for more...my son was heart-broken!
My brother is lost, somewhere?
Love and Peace to you Mr. Ed
Thank you for your concerns...
a very horrible plight of the lost...

It is all too depressing Ed! I never even imagined such a thing, so for all like me, I'm glad you keep us alert to these matters! How low can people sink. I guess lower than we thought! Makes me sick...

This is pitiful, Ed. Such heartbreaking words from this precious child, 'Please don't take my dog.' I pray that these men will be held accountable for their actions.

Thank you, for sharing this...

You touch on yet another malady in this world, and all in the bloody name of mammon too. I agree with Susan. I hope its sooner than later though!

I am sometimes at a loss for words to describe these scum-bag thieves, selling their souls for a few "coppers", or exchanging for drugs. Gotta go read the article...

Dear Ed, this is a sad reality that breaks many hearts. Sometimes it does seem that there is no end to inhumanity, as we see, simultaneously, the cruelty with which some pets are treated, then the horror of millions of pets who are abandoned, and then this...
It does take some effort to go on having faith in the human kind... except when we look at children, like this one, and realize that they will be the future grown-ups, and that we have the responsibility of helping them be kind, compassionate, generous and loving towards the whole of creation... or just watching them grow into inhumane creatures. All the best to you and yours, and
Love,
Alexandra*

Sad story indeed to hear that pet thuggery is on the increase in America. If this continues in the US I have no doubt that God will not send mercy to its people anymore.

Pet grabber is sad==child grabber is worse. What a beautiful picture of innocent sadness. It reflects his broken heart. This is how we feel when a loved one is taking from us. Marguerite

Look at how the abortion industry has grown into a multi billion dollar operation and you wonder why they fight so hard to keep the most inhumane act on this earth, the killing of our babies on the books 4000 killed everday.
