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… Oscarine Malabele
