Method

I used to wonder, growing up,
What people meant by "breaking a spirit"
And why they wanted mine.
You hear it all the time:
"You have to break 'em"--
Your dogs
Horses
Children--
Why?

What's so great about submitting,
Like the coyote at the bottom of the pack,
To someone you don't even believe in?
You hear it all the time:
"It's for their own good"--
To owners
Breeders
Parents--
Why?
Who died and made you God?
