Our Heartlessness Grows

by Mr. Ed — Read all 1,530 poems by Mr. Ed

Friday, April 26, 2013


Poem Artwork
-->

“How you can sit there, calmly eating muffins

When she is in this horrible trouble, I can’t make out.

You seem to me, to be perfectly heartless."


Oscar Wilde




Music:  Listen To Your Heart




This poor dog belonged to a young man

Who was kicked out of his mother’s home

He left her tied up, by his mother’s back door

Without a bit of food, while he went off to roam


Even though this chained dog cried incessantly for an entire month

This young man’s mother did nothing, to assist this starving canine

She finally called Animal Control, after this dog couldn't cry anymore

Our heartlessness is growing, a truly abysmal societal trait of our time


A pet rescue group has finally managed to gain custody of this emaciated creature

She is finally receiving the extensive medical care and compassion that she deserves

As I now so sadly wander both the urban and the rural areas of our once caring nation

I sadly see these signs of our ever growing human heartlessness, just about everywhere


Please Listen To Your Heart and Soul

Please Help Any Helpless Being In Need

Our World Grows More Heartless Everyday

All One Has To Do, Is Open Their Eyes and See


©April 2013, Mr. Ed

I hate to say it, but perhaps the only way to shake some neurons into some constructive action and consciousness is a major calamity to strike this country. Seems we only react to a cattle prod mentality.

I recently watched a program on public television, The Dust Bowl. One film showed the round up and killing of thousands of jack rabbits because they were eating the meager gardens that dust bowlers were able to grow. There was another scene where the government came in and bought all the emaciated cattle and then, in a mass killing, shot all those deemed unfit for food, even one calf that the local farmer who owned it begged to have butchered for his family for food.

We are in no way as desperate as the Great Depression. Still we turn away from our animals and allow them to starve like so many children are starving in the America from neglect today. It is a true tragedy.

Indeed a crime should be
punishable by law, but

Dear Ed,

I am from the old school where pets are still mans best friends and I know they give unconditional love even when there is no one else around.

This new generation is missing out. The dysfunctional family is now standard and common sense is rare. I pray that we get some leadership to turn around this trend. Lest our best friends of the world will be no longer and we will all be at wits end.

Peace be with you and love and blessings to you and your wonderful family of friends,

John Michael Domino

This is appalling. Anyone perpetrating such a crime deserves jail time. A great big acknowledgement to you for pointing this crime out…
