Dog Eat Dog(Till All The Bones Are Devoured)

 

In this dog eat dog world

Compassion is too often left

With a hungry heart.

Compromise is criticized

By those who can afford

To break the rules.

God help the hurtful

For they know no other life,

For when you are taught

To live in the shadows

The sunlight hurts your eyes

Making it tough to see…

Watery eyes makes ripples

In the line of sight

Causing the fork in the road

To look like the devil

Waving his pitchfork.

Mark my words

An illusion of that magnitude

Will shake the foundation

Of your moral beliefs,

Leaving nothing but a broken conscience

To crush your backbone

So the dogs can eat.

I have never understood nor will I accept when a fellow human being throws another under the bus, just for the sake of something extra, like money or prestige... It's a language I don't understand well enough to grasp, I guess. I can only say that I am not attracted one bit to anyone who puts those things before compassion. I believe that the majority of people who walk this earth feel this way, only rarely if ever all at the same time.

Thank you for writing this.

Hey I am with you on that, I don't understand it either, such a sad state of humanity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Painful - some things are seen too late to change and yet sometimes, the rose tinted glasses fall off and we truly see -and deal - in whatever way we can x

Very nicely put hon xo

[Rachelle]

The sad truth is that they always seem to overpower us. And though we try to ignore, we sometimes can't. There are times when one has to make a stand…..

You are so correct young lady.

[Corset]

it is all too easy to say (or write) hurtful things hiding behind shadows, my parents told me that when people are being mean to each other and they call each other names it is because they can not think of anything more intelligent to say, so they lash out with name calling. I believe that is true.

I believe you are right, also it can be they have no self esteem and put them down to make themselves feel better.

If only there were more compassionate people in this world... (sigh)...

I felt your words, Dale... it resonates deeply..

A Thought provoking write. ~xoxo~

I know what you mean hon, that is why those of us who are kindhearted need to keep hope alive. It is what keeps the heartbeat of humanity alive.

narcissist...the worst breed of dog. Excellent examination Cowboy...the rabid, hungry dog...much more treacherous than a mad bull.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is so true, thank you so much for the feedback.

[lost girl]

yes indeed my friend...we are our own destruction.....our hands out ...but not to fill our bellies...to line our pockets...sadly we cannot see that we aren't handed substance...we glue lies to our skin and walk through the street behind "emperors with no clothes" proud in our false freedom...we twist our tongues and remove our eyes...throwing pamphlets of blame as endeavors. sad sad world!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Daise said it so well...damn...my reaction exactly to this statement of societal suicide...


we might as well give ourselves to the dogs, we are headed in that direction.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[jacob erin-cilberto]

This speaks so much truth about our society.
Selfishness and greed are the reasons why people tend to aim for the best and succeed even if at the expense of the other.
Another piece to ponder, cowboy.
Thanks for the share.
