Thougts of a Dog

As night falls in, begins my duty
They let me free to walk around
Around the house I walk vigilant
Guard my masters house in darkness
Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be!

All through the day they lock me in
Still on duty I am, no trespass allowed-
'Wait at the gate for my master! '
On my strong command they frighten
Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be!

Loyal to my boss I am always
Grateful and obedient, smart and intelligent
Courageous and faithful, I am altruistic
Along with master I go till death and thereafter
Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be!

Yet on a thin ice I live, in disgrace
They make me lick their feet, whip me too
May slaughter me one day, the greedy man
When old and fail to serve, they shoot me
Yes - I am a dog and I am proud to be!

In every walk of life I am there, my master
Yet you always walk out on me
Out from the murk you come
Oh human! be humane and proud to be,
A world of tranquility awaits you!

Orphan Child

Mommy sings a lullaby, cuddling me in cozy bed
Hugging lovey teddy bear, I fall asleep in snowy night
Singsong turns to roaring; Mommy melts into thin air
I wake up to the blazing sun and bitter bustling world.

Begging for a bun, I droop down to a mama
Turns her face with scorn, she feeds her babe in love
They push me far in disdain; their little ones they hug.
I look out for my mommy's face in this callous crowd

Far and wide I wander, all through the flaming day
My belly burns in hunger, lips like an arid land
You cant quench my thirst; you cant quench my hunger
Let alone a little heart that craves for love since birth!

Wearied and cold I am and lie down on the pavement
Aching for a warm and cozy sleep tonight
Let in my dreams twinkle the stars up above
Oh! God, bless me a deep sleep and wake me not again!
