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!

My Friend

'You my friend, my lifelong friend
You care for me, you pray for me.
As mountain blocks the stormy wind,
Shields me from the waves of life...

You my friend, a blessing from heaven
An oasis in the sandy desert
A lighting candle in the darkness of night
You my friend, my lifelong friend.

You make me smile, you make me cry
At times you get angry, scold me for my mistakes
I shed down as a dry flower,
Till you come back and pour me life.

Shines at the grass tip, our friendship
As a dew drop in the day break
Spreads the fragrance of purity and divinity
Let mid day never come upon!

You my friend, my foul weather friend
You my twin soul, my lifelong friend
May the ebbs of life take us away
Lives our friendship across the time.'
