Caution - graphic and disturbing poetry

And for those who ask, No, this is not about a cat or dog.

Broken

Aggressive in it's joy
The dog flings and bites
The small screaming kitten
Until something else
Becomes more interesting.
Abandoned in the dirt
It breathes shallow breaths
As blood seeps into the ground around it.
No more sounds
From the rag-doll broken body
Not even the energy left
To try and escape.
The light slowly dims
From helpless staring eyes
And with a silent farewell
Its soul leaves its shattered heart behind.

Thought provoking and quite lovely in it's sadness.
