As excited to return as he was to leave Bright eyes such bright eyes He senses my pain We enter... .... He skips to his drink Downs it in one Plods off to corner Flops down in the cool shade Raising a quizzical eyebrow Then doses off with a contented sigh .... Click, click of the mouse The key to the asylum gate turns The inmates scream out beyond my screen Some live in heaven others in hell Perversely I sit here Omnipresent My fingers jabbing at the keyboard Harvesting the daily cruelties of mankind Kind of "men" I'm sick At least sickened I SEE WAR LOTS OF HIDEOUS WAR TWISTED CORPSES INSANITY GRIEF I see twisted politicians pretending to care Banks rubbing their hands with glee Arms manufacturers celebrating bonuses I see death equals money for some Lots of death = Lots of money Kids shelled on a beach, hospitals destroyed "well they use human shields" So that must mean those humans are worthless? I see a death toll of 1400...and RISING! I see no God I see genocide Clicking and typing just makes it worse Calling each other "dogs" a repeated curse Dogs! Dehumanizing the enemy For the purpose of easy slaughter. The devoted mother and father The innocent son and daughter Where is this God? Either/ any version will do Or is it all about NOTHING! Nothing but ********** and greed. Click, click... ISIS When will humanity wake up

Dog (Part 3)
As excited to return as he was to leave Bright eyes such bright eyes He senses my pain We enter... ....

Click, click of the mouse The key to the asylum gate turns The inmates scream out beyond my screen Some live in heaven others in hell Perversely I sit here Omnipresent My fingers jabbing at the keyboard Harvesting the daily cruelties of mankind Kind of "men" I'm sick At least sickened I SEE WAR LOTS OF HIDEOUS WAR TWISTED CORPSES INSANITY GRIEF I see twisted politicians pretending to care Banks rubbing their hands with glee Arms manufacturers celebrating bonuses I see death equals money for some Lots of death = Lots of money Kids shelled on a beach, hospitals destroyed "well they use human shields" So that must mean those humans are worthless? I see a death toll of 1400...and RISING! I see no God I see genocide Clicking and typing just makes it worse Calling each other "dogs" a repeated curse Dogs!

I hate war, the people that create it, the fools that perpetuate it and myself for being so impudent on the subject, but for all the good religion has brought the world ...it just needs to go! Yes, I am holding back.
