As night falls in, begins my duty <br />They let me free to walk around <br />Around the house I walk vigilant <br />Guard my masters house in darkness <br />Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! <br /> <br />All through the day they lock me in <br />Still on duty I am, no trespass allowed- <br />'Wait at the gate for my master! ' <br />On my strong command they frighten <br />Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! <br /> <br />Loyal to my boss I am always <br />Grateful and obedient, smart and intelligent <br />Courageous and faithful, I am altruistic <br />Along with master I go till death and thereafter <br />Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! <br /> <br />Yet on a thin ice I live, in disgrace <br />They make me lick their feet, whip me too <br />May slaughter me one day, the greedy man <br />When old and fail to serve, they shoot me <br />Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be! <br /> <br />In every walk of life I am there, my master <br />Yet you always walk out on me <br />Out from the murk you come <br />Oh human! be humane and proud to be, <br />A world of tranquility awaits you!<br /><br />Mayasanal Suryakalady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thoughts-of-a-dog/
