Indicted

They gave birth
to a beautiful baby
and left him alone 
only a dog to play with
the dog was  happy
to have a  humble friend
and it taught him how to bite
yes, he excelled in the skill 
biting without sparing
biting without mercy
parents wept and exiled child
but were indicted by society
for false accusation
