A Dog with a Missing Leg

A dog with a missing leg
Knocked down by a driver
Drove at dog speed
And barked away 

We have stopped to see
A group of people, too
The dog with a missing leg
And smoke from nearby hut

The municipal is here
Health officer with a spade
Staring at the carcass
And calling for backup 

The cop's siren is here
Looking around curiously
I wonder why, for a dog
And bullet in the barrels

A man looks on and yawns
A sharp kitchen knife in hand
He looks anxious 
And prays for a miracle

A newsman looks on
Been here for long
A canon camera at hand
He waits for his time

The dog with a missing leg
Has brought us together
Nobody speaks but we talk
There is tension in the air

No rules of engagement 
Someone is angry, another one hungry
Someone is joking, another one hoping
we are here on our terms

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
