Barking Dogs. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Barking dogs in darkness
Frightens the people those who walks
In darkness of night they hears
The frightening barks of the dogs
Ferocious they seems to be
But tied in homes of nearby
unable to move or run further
Still people frightens, hearing the sound
Children always fears them
Old aged ones curses their owners
The young ones takes the stones
For a chance to throw aiming dogs
Barking dogs in darkness and days
Always a problem for pedestrians
A nuisance people tells themselves
But in curtains of windows they laughs
The pride of the home my little dog
Its sound makes so much fear syndrome
Barking dogs the cross genus they
Powerful to bite in little run and jump
In chains they tied near their homes
The lady of home makes it happier
By giving enough to eat and drink
Meat and meat products together bread
Still it barks to the people nearby
For making happier always the master
Who gives bread and butter with milk
To chase the rag picker when he comes
To chase the thieves when they intrudes
Barking dog caught some trouble
From bite of a jackal supposed to be mad
Doctor told it as danger and kill it
Unless madness from the dog to humans
The entire barking dogs got killed
Now the street is silent no more barks
But somewhere a sadness feels in mind
The dogs are destined to bark and chase
They were living in wilderness before
Domesticated by the humans for convenience
Kills them when their interest thwarts.
