All gone to the dogs

I’ve heard it’s all gone to the dogs
but what have the dogs done to deserve it all?

In The Bible it says
that the meek will inherit the earth
not the dogs

And where were the dogs
in the good old days?

Did they sit moping
on black and white street corners
waiting to get it?

Or did they take positive action:
incline their heads enticingly
slowly drawing it towards them
welcoming it with big, shiny teeth?

Now that the dogs have got it
is there any way we can ever
get it back?

Or are the dogs just too powerful?

Will they keep all of it forever
like a red sponge ball in their doggy mouths
chewing it, dropping it and chewing it for eternity?
