Cry, my beloved country
Where the mindset will rarely broaden
And the weak will remain trodden
Where the meek may not inherit the earth
Since of humanity there is a dearth
Where cruelty to animals is penalised
And those to humans brushed aside
Where stray animals are protected by law
And the crows can continue to caw..
Where man may live in fear
Since laws for his protection though clear
Are brushed aside with a sneer
And no one will notice the lone tear..
Our SPCA is so very strong
They don’t think wheat they’re doing is wrong
Is putting pets above humans fair?
For old and young this is a nightmare
Though for improvement there’s scope
We’ve almost given up hope
For the rights of stray dogs are clear
And none can, from them, veer
So while we folks live in fear
And from the canines’ pathway stay clear
The dogs will have their way
And always win the day..
So many cases of dog bites
And yet our hands are tied!!
Do human lives not matter ?
Has humanity really died????
