A Letter To The U.S. Army Puppy Thrower

If you haven't seen or heard about this video, it is a video of a soldier in the US army holding a small puppy with his friend next to him. He then proceeds to throw the puppy over a cliff. You hear it yelp for a moment, while the soldiers laugh and smile the entire time. I have never been so appalled by anything in my whole life. This is what we send to promote freedom? I hate to call myself American or even human after watching this video. So I wrote a poem of sorts about it.

I bet you were the bully in school.
I know your kind too well. A boy,
Nondescript and lackluster,
All around unimpressive
Save for your disdain for
Anything weaker than you.
As you grew, still a
Mental embryo, you shunned
Worldliness for the opium of
Idiocy. (What I'm writing will never
be read by you) You jumped on
Uncle Sam's inviting shoulder
So you could seem tall and strong,
All ready for the oil-balloon fight,
But still you remain lackluster and dull.
Out in the sand, you found a
Comrade of your ilk, a bully-buddy of
Sorts, I suppose. My life would've gone by
Without you until I saw you become scum.
When you hurled that puppy of that cliff,
You allowed me to reach
The pinnacle of my hatred.
I am hurt and disgusted by you and your friends.
You are a demon, and
I hope you know you've
Roused that infant dog's
Mother. And her name is
Karma. And I pray her jaws don't
Make quick work of you.
