Dog Eat Dog
Dog Eat Dog Poems - Poems about Dog Eat Dog
Get What You Can
At nights we’d sit out on the balcony drinkin Breathin That thick mug air Of a New Orleans summer evening. Livin as easy As they’d let us In the bowels of the Irish Channel Where magnolias bloom all year long Amidst the cracked walks And hungry dogs Not quite getting enough From the day’s trash. Crumpled ashcans turned asunder Over the curbing and into the street Like it’s some...

Dog Eat Dog Days
Keeping up with the Jones I still try It's dog eat dog neath a vicious sky All the finer things that you demand This rat race has gotten out of hand I toil and strain just to bridge the gap The weight of life heavy on my lap A token reward to earn my pay The burden tests my will every day Try...

Dog Eat Dog
Water flowing through the lake, ripples on the surface The fish below swimming to and fro without care or purpose Save to find more food and to not be viewed by the enemies within Who would not think twice to exact the price to sustain their lives therein...

Dog Eat Dog
“I just don’t care,” I tried to pretend, As if nothing could bother me, Ever again. But for this insidious world, I could not prepare, For a dog-eat-dog world, Where I’m wearing milk bone underwear....

Dog Eat Dog
A MAN LYING ON THE SIDEWALK. NOT STOPPING TO CHECK HIS WELFARE. SEEING A MAN SLAPPING A WOMAN. LOOKING THE OTHER WAY. NOT WANTING TO GET INVOLED NOR CARING. WE LIVE IN A DOG EAT DOG WORLD WHAT DOES GOD THINK OF US? DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE? ABOUT ANYTHING? YIKES COPYRIGHTACB2012...

Dog Eat Dog
When the bullet hits the bone and you're left all alone...born to ramble and bound to roam when nowhere is your home...under the radar and over the rainbow Like a thought in a galaxy i'm gone...like spiders and snakes all fight for twisted thrones Rabid with rabies...Dog eat Dog Beautiful babies grow up to be ugly murderous monsters...truth told...

Dog Eat Dog World
Sweat through labor's fervent pace. You pitiful dog, You minuscule cog, Lest you vanish off the face Of the earth without a trace. Don't dare threaten profit gain When you don't understand Why wealth could own the land For which your fathers died in vain. That you may see your heroes slain. If you find you disagree... Take to the streets, Face my marching fleets. Just hold your...
