Ferocious (Poetic Version)
You beat me, you starve me
You lock me away
And here you just keep me
For many a day.
When I'm mad with hunger
You throw in a rat
The fights not a fair one
But you do know that.
You want to develop
My taste for warm blood
You'll make me a monster
Satisfaction will flood.
I know it's not right
But I need your approval
If only someone had
Secured my removal.
So now comes the build-up
With lots of raw meat
When I behave well
You'll give me a treat.
One night in the van
To a place I am taken
What is this place
My confidence shaken.
There is an arena
A fenced off ring
Where my life as a fighter
Is about to begin.
We're driven quite mad
And blood is the scent
You want lots to be spilled
Oh, I see your intent.
You are making me do this
I just have to win
Or you will just starve me
Until I'm too thin.
So I am the victor
Yes, I win the fight
And I win many more
Just for your delight.
But when I'm too injured,
Too worn and too battered
You toss me away
As though I never mattered.
It takes a long time but
I start to recover
And feelings of love
Eventually smother
The hurt and the torment
That you put me through.
How I just wish that
I'd never seen you.
The bangs and the shouts
Bring it all flooding back
I never intended
To launch an attack.
So now my life's over
Many more will you ruin
Until people just stop you
Your 'Sport' from persuing.

Another fine poem Hully, and people who use dogs for fighting are selfish dicks!

I've got some definite views on what to do with them but I'd better keep them to myself.
