The Chick

In the night it wandered alone  
I noticed its small and tender shape  
Death had plans for this young small thing  
Morbid pain is what he'd bring  
 
 
I may be dark and have little care  
but my lady smiled and said  
"Be FAIR.."  
Rescue the chick and We'll nurture it till age  
We called her Topaz the yellow sage.  
 
 
Its heart beat rapid against my thumb  
as we walked the path home,  
THROMB THROMB THROMB  
 
 
Two legged creatures stopped and smirked  
mistaking my compassion for weakness...  
mistaking me for weakness...  
 
I analized the situation in my head  
and realized any two ways this chick was dead  
If I carried her home, my dogs be fed  
If I left her to roam she'd enter death's bed  
 
I did the only thing i thought "Humane"  
and I abandoned my Topaz  
I guess I am INSANE  
As I looked back and she stood still  
I saw beyond  her eyes  
saw the Demons closing in,  
plotting her DEMISE...  
She stood and shook...  
 
Only then as I continued on without my chick  
did i soon realise i was such a DICK.....
