Abstract: He Remains
In the shadows sat the chocolate colored dog,
and it shivered as if cold and alone.
Though the door was unlocked and open wide,
he remained chained to the comfort of the furthest dark corner.
Fed and warm, this animal suffered from pain not obvious or impending.
His new master waited with an open hand,
and whispered words of love and affection.
Tail tucked between his skinny back legs,
the canine whimpered, unbelieving and scared.
The master remained.
Though the hurting animal punished his new master for the sins of the old,
He remained.
The new is not like the old,
He remains.
