One Day You Will Die Poem by Oye Caleb

One Day You Will Die

Rating: 5.0


There was this dog I grew up with
I fed it bread and fed it meat
I bathed it and played with it
I made it stand and made it sit
But my friends still never liked it

It would bark and growl at them
It would stand still and firm
I would stare it in the eyes
And tell it to be nice

The day my dog died
I was the only one who cried
My friends celebrated its death
Happy it took its last breath

My dog treated family nice
But made strangers scared
And now it pays the price
For they rejoice that it is dead.
