A dogs life
Finished my last meal. Want to live but knowing no recourse/
Waiting for them to come get me and I’m showing no remorse/
Hopeless on death row, I’m still chasing life regardless/
The tragic events of my past had hastened my catharsis/
Where should I start this? My life story’s less then glamorous/
My father was heartless. Got his pussy then abandoned us/
My mother was fabulous. Caring for us in the early stages/
Until they ripped us away from her and put us in dirty cages/
This murky place was my home. Every day it got viler/
The hairless ones who fed me labeled me a Rottweiler/
A lot wilder than the average dog. At least that’s the legend/
But I had no savage thoughts. At peace with my brethren/
Who held me down. Schooled me in the ways of humanity/
Some spoke of their kindness. Others. Dismayed by brutality/
In lieu of my reality, I decided to hold judgement until after/
I’ve chosen my new master. This was the start of disaster…
Ay yo. This dog right here looks fierce yo. This is the shit I’m talking about. I want this one right here. How much son?
The sweet smell of freedom? This isn’t what I had envisioned/
This human had no love. All he had for me was bad intentions/
Treated me horribly. Didn’t think twice before harming me/
Wanted me ornery. Constantly beating and starving me/
Those months took a part of me that can never be restored/
Many psychological scars that can never be ignored/
Deplored his treatment of me ever since he opened my cage door/
Born so full of love and this human wanted me to wage war/
I prayed for the other human who would come and caress /
It had long hair, the softest skin and big bumps on its chest/
It was beaten daily too. I cried when she’d bawl and weep/
Everyday, she’d put needles in her arm just to fall asleep/
Bet it’s that powder that he has that makes her want to stick with him/
My master wasn’t likable yet he always had humans visit him/
I’m sick of him. Can’t see why others treat him like royalty/
My friendship discarded. Someone should teach him some loyalty…
Open up police!!!! Search the premises!!!! Someone shut that dog up and get it out of here!!!!
The place is empty Sarge. Just some dead female junkie in the back. An apparent O.D. Our guy’s gone.
Caged up again. I was abandoned for the second time/
Feeling lonely and unwanted by my master just wrecked my mind/
Quick to find reason to hate. Barking at people that went through/
Schooling pups of their fate. Showing them the evil that men do/
Despite what I been through, I wondered if I’d ever live it up/
Were there any nice humans? Or perhaps I should just give it up/
Was I big enough to forgive and to try and love again/
I had my opportunity. Another man was eyeing me coming in….
Hi I’m in the police canine unit. That dog used to belong to a heroin dealer. We feel he’d be a good edition to our unit. He has experience sniffing that stuff out and my old dog passed on. I’d like to train him
I firmly believed the bond broken with man was irreparable/
At first I was leery. But me and Dan grew inseparable/
That’s what he called himself. His goodness appealed to me/
Stark contrast of my master. His name never revealed to me/
Wouldn’t share his name, his love, or his companionship/
If love and loyalty was a book, then Dan wrote the manuscript/
My needs. He handled it. Physically and mentally supported/
Sniffed and found the powder and was regularly rewarded/
Proudly walked with me. All of the others who knew him loved me/
Even took me to his lair so I can play with his human puppies/
Life was great. Too bad my world was shattered in an instance/
While out sniffing for powder, I heard a battle in the distance/
Raced to Dan. Found him bleeding. Dying on the street/
Raised his hand to feel me but I was trying not to weep/
Then he was gone. Licked his face, trying to get him to stay on/
I turned and saw the others had my old master with chains on/
I got my rage on. Smelled his fear when our eyes connected/
Quickly becoming the vicious canine that this guy expected/
Pounced and connected. Locked my jaw on his neck cartilage/
My life wasn’t perfect , but this perp wrecked the best part of it/
He killed Big Bumps and Dan. Any merciful feelings now remote/
Took joy in his thrashing. Got off on him bleeding down my throat/
Swallowing his life force. Blood everywhere. My fur was tarnished/
Others trying to stop me but too weak to deter the carnage/
This is what he trained me for as I dropped his lifeless carcass/
I did the right thing. Nothing would have stopped this guy regardless/
Of human rules. Which seems to fail us in preventing disasters/
Why am I sentenced to die just for avenging my master?/
I’m on death row for my belief in love,friendship and loyalty/
I’m man’s best friend but they want me to end this and go to sleep…
