Just a dog and not a man
Held the cause up for the world
Never fit into the plan
Hidden behind flag unfurled
Broken, wounded, ill and tired
Licks the wounds the cause inspired
This was not how it began
Gangrenous do those wounds rot
Cannot heal up on their own
Loyals whom the cause begot
Step across the body prone
Bitten by the crowds who feed
Single soul is left to bleed
Because the flag, the cause, forgot
No voice left, no story told
Would the cause produce an ear
Time still stands but soon grows old
The only barrier is fear
Listen, watch, extend a hand
Hear, see, grasp and help to stand
Rebuild the cause, restore the hold
