My Dog Is Dead

Kevin Stallings

Rhymed
I hear the sound
Of crashing planes
I then find out
It’s crashing trains.
Bodies lay
All on the ground
They do not move
Don’t make a sound
‘My dog, my dog”
Is all I say
So I get down
And start to pray.
Between the trains
I see his head
It is too late
My dog is dead.
