On a pavement near my home

There is a large shadow dog

It reminds me of a Hiroshima Shadow

And because of that it disturbs me


This country is in an era of decay

Make no mistake about this

There is a raw cancer eating away

At all we hold to be decent

Disgusting behaviours are now seen as normal


We are being drowned by the toxic tides

That continue to overwhelm our purity

I am almost jealous of the shadow dog

As it does not have to suffer my pain

In time the rains will wash it away

It will be nothing but a memory
