I don’t understand
Why they imprison us
During the day.
As soon as the morning arrives
In calling voices
they begin to say
“Kaloo, Tiger, ghorey dhuuk!”
They force us into the jail!
How I hate to be cloistered
In the little dingy room
Three others and me!
There’s hardly place
To turn or shake
Leave alone pee
This is not fair
While the whole world pass by
Through the window
I see their pets play in the
park
Or giggle in the swing or run
It hurts my spirit
We too are bodies
We too need exercise and fun
But we have no words to tell
them
We are dogs!
These humans are unjust
Unfeeling and cruel
And oppressive by nature
Man’s best friend
So they us glorify; but they
love
to exploit another creature!
As inhabitants of the Earth
Shouldn't we have some liberty?
