I Feel Like a Dog in a Fence

I feel like a dog caught in a fence
He's trying to escape,
Needing someone to rescue him
And make sure he will be okay,
Wondering how many people
Will pass me by,
Ignoring my plight
Before the situation
Will be made right

Will my whimpering
Cause them to have pity on me?
Or will I scare them off
With my dangerous teeth?
Will they cross over
To the other side of the road?
Too busy to be bothered
To carry a stranger's load
Will someone brave come close
And see what they can do?
Even a Siamese cat,
At this point, will do

How quick are we to come
To the aid of a dog or cat
But take our time to offer help
To that of our fellow man?
