Aubrey Brown Poet Prose Poetry

A Man's Best Friend

Abandoned, scared and alone he lay in his bed
Wondering if he will ever have a loving home
On the concrete floor, he lays his head
Without a care for his old bone

It’s loud and the rotten stench of **** and piss fill the air
He lay, wishing and dreaming that he didn’t have to be there
Locked up and taken prisoner he is so sad
He never thought his life could get this bad

What’d he do to deserve such a terrible fate?
Waiting for the day he reaches the end
All he is now is a cute little piece of bait
Never knowing if he will ever mend

From the terrifying experiences had
Now afraid of any large objects or yelling
He is older now and the young ones are the fad
Look in his eyes and see what they’re telling

A lost and most beautiful soul
Awaiting the day he may find love
And get out of this terrible lull
He looks up to the heavens above

All he can see are painfully fluorescent lights
Wishing so badly to see the outside
To get out of here and have play fights
What he really needs is a person, a guide

Someone to love and support him
He waits and waits for his special person
Someone who’d make his life less dim
While the pain and loneliness worsen

Brenda Meier-Hans October 3, 2014 at 10:50 AM Your poem was breaking my heart Aubrey. As a dog lover it is sad to know what some animals must endure. Such a beautiful poem.

Aubrey Brown September 30, 2014 at 11:21 PM I was inspired to write this poem to uncover and bring attention to the pain animals go through on a regular basis all around the U.S. I fully support adopting -I adopted my Major and he is an exquisitely smart and well mannered dog.
