The Kingdom Of Dogs (31) Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Dogs' Life

By Freeyad Ibrahim

Dogs do not sleep except under a roof in developed countries
Thousands of people sleep without a roof in backward countries

Dogs only eat healthy, fresh, nutritious food
in developed countries

Millions of people are hungry and have nothing to eat
in backward countries

Dogs only sleep on a full stomach in developed countries
People cannot sleep because of hunger in backward countries

Dogs are not insulted, they live in safety, respect,
and they enjoy freedom in developed countries

Millions of people are humiliated, live unsafe, outcast, threatened, imprisoned in underdeveloped countries.

If dogs become ill, their owner takes them to a private doctor
and a private pharmacy
He is taken by a comfortably equipped ambulance
to the hospital in developed countries.

Thousands of people die sick due to lack of medicine
and health care, and the presence of mosques
instead of hospitals in their neighbourhood
in underdeveloped countries.

The dog is not dragged or pulled by anyone forcefully,
No one may assault it by hitting or cursing in developed countries.

Uncountable people are forcefully dragged, pushed
and attacked with beatings and insults
in underdeveloped countries.

Dogs are rich and have no job other than barking sometimes
or lying motionless, and all their living requirements are guaranteed in developed countries.

Millions of people are working madly to earn
a piece of bread and secure their lives and those of their children
in underdeveloped countries.

You wonder why people move from underdeveloped countries
to developed countries?
I say because they want to live the Dogs' Life in developed countries

Nothing more, nothing less!
