Description
It's in our nature to fear you
Even when you pose no threat
It's our basic instinct to imagine the worst
Please forgive our behavior from the other side
You seem harmless right now, walking with your head down
But we can't trust you further than we see you
Just as it is in our nature to fear you
It is your basic instinct to harm us

Fantastic meaning behind this one. So very true, and the way you've captured the blurryness of the dog exemplifies your point even more. "But we can't trust you further than we see you" exemplifies the point that because the dog isn't in focus, they can't trust him very far because we, the viewer, can barely see the dog in any detail.
Keep up the brilliant inspirational work, mate.

This wonderful deviation reminds me this tale
One day, a scorpion set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.
The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.
Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.
"Hello Mr. Frog" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"
"Well now, Mr. Scorpion. How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.
"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim"
Now this seemed to make sense to the frog, so he agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.
Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.
"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"
The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.
"I could not help myself. It is my nature."
Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

All I could think of when I saw this was seeing someone sitting on the sidewalk taking a picture of cats. Lol.
