A Dog
Not In The Sense Of Lower
Of Lesser
Of Inferior
A Dog
Not Like A Vulture
A Scavenger
A Predator
A Dog
In The Sense Of Loyalty
Of Friendship
Of Companionship
A Dog
Like A Friend
Man’s Friend
Man’s Best Friend
A Dog

My Position, At Least For Me, Is Clear
But What Of Those Still Chained To The Leash?
They Are Free In Body, Yet Slaves Of The Mind
They Keep Righteously Unchallenging
So Assured Of Rewards Everlasting

Above My Head
When I’m In Bed
Late At Night
Seen Even With My Blurry Sight
Police Helicopters
Buzz Me Out Of Sleep
Pull Me From The Deep
Because They Need To Herd The Sheep
