to fight
humans have taken all that in us is good
twisted and mangled it for the sickness
in a part of the world called the ‘hood
others of our race, but not our breed
are used as bait for in-training fights
like us, they go where the humans lead
but it’s not their nature to lunge & bite
these gentler souls immersed in violence
must live their life in terror and fright
onto the blood spattered earth we tread
the meek and the innocent made mean
willing or no, to the brutal fracas we’re led
