FRAGMENT TWO

Master's hand

On the Pet's backside

And each hit

Cracks the Pet's pride

Apologize and be forgiven

Bruises that ache

Or end up bed ridden

Over a simple mistake

Discolourations spread

Chastised flesh

Hot salty tears shed

Continue to thresh

Master asks

Mongrel howls a plea

Is the lesson learned?

He has paid the fee

Whimpering and sobbing

Anguished cries

Flesh painfully throbbing

Piercing blue eyes

Master pities the boy

Mongrel crawls to his lap

Master pets his toy

This love is a trap

Master's soft voice

Can heal any pain

Mongrel promises to never

Do it again
