Visciousness Of Life Poem by Paul McAnaney

For in those dark and saddened eyes i see
Fear i see the cruelty and hardship of life
I see an animals eternal despair.

In that dogs contemptuous face i see a
fearful soul awaiting deaths gentle release
So as this animal can finally be at peace

In the vicious growl i hear a painful
story from a life of abuse an punishment
And as our eyes meet i take it upon myself
to give this vicious dog some form of
peace.
