Angry Dog

Abandoned, cold and alone.
Sits afraid in the pound,
no love, hope and no home.
Barks and growls a loud din.
Making a rawful sound,
as people happily pass by him.
throat, blistered from wailing,
exhausted too tired to sleep.
Sulks at his constant failing.
Growling at those who come too close,
can do nothing but weep.
Biting those he cares for most.

Silly mutt, put him down.
Out of his misery.
