the black dog





The black dogs still have the meat bones
They haven't seen the last of it
It will happen as the years drag on
The gravy train has stopped long ago

The black dogs still bark
At the corners and side streets
They show their fangs and pointed ears
They say of their own kind in bond

No other dogs have intruded into the domain
They leave the black dogs their space and habits
They only say the black dogs must follow the law
No dogs worth is soul would bite the messenger

Yet the black dogs never see
They only see they have the advantages
In numbers they say they should hold court
But it is wishful thinking making them feel superior

The law of the land
The black dogs will run
Once the marching orders arrive
The black dogs will not escape
