The Analogy
The Analogy
The man has been kicking the obedient dog at will
Fed the creature only when he felt it had barked enough to cushion his sleep
He carried this forth and on
For ages, the dog bit and hid its tail
Turned its cheeks to the harshness he toned
The dog lost the senses to mind the rules when the man gave it a bone to debone
He changed his mind with the bone inside the cavity of the exhausted and starving dog’s mouth
Enraged, the dog swallowed his hand
Off course?
Of course, the dog is dead
The new puppy adheres to the man’s dominion…
