Dog's life

Dog's Life

Writing abstraction

Shapes meaning action

Manipulative faction

Cause and reaction

Love means love

Love means hate

Love is but a shape

On a paper plate

Honour the word

The written absurd

The hieroglyph

The steady permanence of it

Read off the hymns

Sing children sing

Religion so willing

Join in the killing

Bible to Koran

Muslim to Christian

Ancient to modern

Salman to Sodom

The word may weather

But its core is tethered
To the perimeter of meaning

To the abuse of the living

For those who do write

Consider the plight

Of those who would act

On your writing as fact

The word is but a word

An abstraction of absurd

To communicate, to connect

A hidden intellect

I want it as a weapon

Launched at those who never listen

But the readers of such dogrel

Are the souls who write on bog roll.

I salute the novel nation

All its pomp and masturbation

I would rather put in print

What I would be hanged for think
