The world is full of ignorant people
honestly blind to how others may feel
even though they know no one likes the smell
when a housebroken puppy poops indoors
obviously, the owner feels the need
rightly so, to teach a lesson, the nose
lightly touches the poop, how sensitive
dogs are to scent, they know they have done wrong
if the owner is ignorant they push
shit up the nostrils of their dog, they think
forever the dog will never forget
unwittingly, defense mechanisms
lay the groundwork for a broken psyche
like master like servant, the dog as slave
ordinary power politics play
full-court press very rarely while at work
ignorance is everywhere, be cautious
given the climate of the holidays
no one knows how stress will affect someone
ordinarily, people full of cheer
resolve anger issues badly, lash out
as others ask why, hidden, in plain sight
needlessly neglected, unattended
taunting, bullying, between two people
perhaps it sounds strange with the holidays
engineered as a respite from the cold
old boy office politics reigns, hatred
particularly of what is other
leave consideration aside, the dog
ends up with kinder owners, still fucked up
