Dictators love dogs.

Because the throne is a cold place.

And a man can never be fully trusted.

​

Dictators love dogs.

They never question or whisper.

They never scheme and plot.

​

Dictators love dogs.

Franco loved dogs.

Hitler loved dogs.

​

Dictators love dogs.

Castro loved dogs.

Putin loves dogs.

​

Dictators love dogs.

For power makes you feared.

And to be feared makes you alone.

​

And maybe,

When every general nods too quickly,

Laughs too loudly,

And agrees a little too hard…

The dog is the only one

That isn’t performing.
