Dog Days delves into Dr. Molly’s experiences, highlighting impulsivity, violence, and empathy in a world of turmoil, exclusively for Different Truths.

My dog days
          doomed!
each day
         Zac, my
Labri
     goes crazy
or what!!
 
        maybe
the heat
         intense
of this
         uncanny
season     
    drives him
          crazy?
 
o, no dogs
        are dogs
and men
       no better!
especially
    drawn by
        impulse...
 
see
        the youth 
of a college
      these days
jumping on
           each to
Devour
        Overpower
Outshine!
 
otherwise
      how they
 in gang
     could chase
attack,
     jump up on
 a boy
               of
      their own
college, hostel,
         to hack
and starve
           him to
death
        denying
even
       drops of
water...
 
maybe
        safe in
 the thought
      they will
be sheltered
 by       
   the powers          
that goaded,
       and strung
the pulls
                from   
behind...
   
age of
       Puppets
and     puppeteers!
 
yesternight
    was heavy
on me,
        my dog
impairing
    my vision
by eating up
      my specs,
the costly
   quality one...
 
how could
        he does it
to me,
       my poor
self   
         while
I was
     absorbed
in the act
                 of
cleaning up
     his kennel?
 
No! Morning
      I woke up,
and wept
          for the
parents
      of the boy
their pangs
        on losing
their doted
            son
their
    sustaining
             edge of
hope, promise!
 
when will
        we are free,
from the
         acts of
insensitivity
          cruelty
that dog
       our days?
