Poem Artwork

Fast heading toward extinction,

Wolves & K-9 type animals,

Is it mans mission,

To kill off all animals on this planet,

Any chance these human desires,

Will someday go into remission…?

 

Will we next dogs be killing,

Chasing them down with copters & planes,

Chasing them till they run themselves to death,

Or using them as some already do,

To kill each other in fights,

Till both run out of breath…

 

Man only wants to be king of the earth,

Does he not know of dogs ultimate worth,

God named them in the reverse of His name,

For a reason he did so,

Before man on this planet, dog called their place of birth…

Interesting write Ed, although there is often need for culling of certain species in the wild...wholesale slaughter should never be advocated.

The Self Proclaimed Wolf Slayer of Alaska

Now wants to be your next President;

Her mission to annihilate all of them,

Like many others today, is sadly evident.



And I guess it's not all that very surprising,

The abysmal way we now treat man's best friend;

We humans no longer seem to appreciate any animal,

And those in power, just like her, want to bring their end.

I understand your feelings here and agree with you to a point. Except that man will never eliminate the domesticated dog for the simple fact that many have come to know that DOG is a reflection of GOD.
Well said, Ed and God bless.

Deep thoughts here. Dogs are God's animals and some seem like they were created for man to show us what a human friend SHOULD be like. However, man will NEVER NEVER measure...up. Great Poem Ed!

A feeling heart, knowing of that soul the precious animal knows, bless you, the arrogant species gets its one up;manship one day, it certainly will, as they say, every dog has his day!
Bless ya Jersey! Jasmin Horst

You're right, Ed. It should be a crime to kill those wolves
out west...or anywhere. Perhaps one day man will run out of
things to kill... -gene.

In some parts of the world they have a history of using dogs for food (China). Most Middle Eastern countries loathe dogs and abuse them fearfully. So, the dog has been targeted in some parts of the world for ages, Ed.
