I'm Gus,

Yesterday I brought my teeth into the neck of another, like me

She didn't have a chance, her body was worn out from over breeding, her teeth pulled out

I did it out of mercy as she whined a painful thank you release

Just two years ago life was good, my kid, I think his name was Jake,

Let me out for an afternoon run,

Next thing I know I'm in this pit, just trying to survive,

To pad the pockets of some person who doesn't care about me,

Doesn't feed me, doesn't value me,

Doesn't value life,

Tomorrow I'll be tossed in the garbage, like she was yesterday,

With her, unborn litter they didn't realize she had.

I miss you Jake.
