Life of a Dog

Dogs are so happy and self-indulged

I observe them long and over time

they seem content about life

do not worry in the dark for their sins

do not concern duty to a God

they are satisfied not demented

do not suffer the mania of owning things

nor does one kneel to another

or to their own kind

not knowing a life that came before

respectable and happy for earth

they cherish their time they have
