The Reprobate Speaks Poem by Michael Pruchnicki

got me dead to rights
or so you think

but all I am is what you made me
you and your fellows in blue

I was innocent
a naive pup

before you and your laws
corrupted me

dogcatchers are my enemy
let me tell you guys in blue

once I trusted humanunkind
licked your greasy hands

when I wanted to tear out
your throat with my canines

and lick up your blood
from the gritty pavement

reprobate and sybarite
sure I am and you're next!
