The Spirit Dog takes to the sky
because his owners have let him die
they chained him out
in heat and cold
with no shade or blanket
should this be told ?
If he spilled his water by accident
they did not care
where the liquid went
"Bad dog" was all they said to him
his chance for life
was set to "slim"
They drove away
in a big old truck
they left him there
completely stuck
His thirsty tongue
licked morning dew
he bought some time
well..wouldn't you ?
The heat increased
as the day went on
mosquitoes bit
from dusk till dawn
He whined and cried
for his old mama dog
he laid next to the rotted log
His lungs then rattled
and his heartbeat stopped
then his soul began to fly
he fell into an angels arms
hovering in the sky
She pointed to his Hell below
and whispered into his ear
"Spirit Dog we welcome you
no more from Earth to fear"
They headed off to Sirius
and he became a canine Clown
he forgot about the pain gone by
and his bleached bones on the ground
