Dogs, Oh Loyal And Trusted Friends, Why Have You Started Barking Now. Poem by M. Asim Nehal
Dogs, Oh Loyal And Trusted Friends, Why Have You Started Barking Now.
Dogs, oh loyal and trusted friends
sitting quietly, tails wagging without end
their master's friend, oh what a sight
causing chaos and havoc with all their might
but the dogs, they sat so still
not a bark or growl to fill
the air, as their master's friend
did deeds of atrocity without end
for they knew their master's love
and that was all they needed of
to trust and stay by his side
through all the ups and downs, they would abide.
But oh, how the tables have turned
as their master's friend has been burned
by those he has wronged and hurt
now the dogs have started to blurt
barking and growling, no more at peace
as their master's friend's crimes cease
they stand by his side, but not in support
rather, to mock and snort
for where were they when their master's friend
was causing pain and harm without an end
now they bark and howl in delight
as he suffers the consequences of his own fight.
Oh dogs, how fickle and sly
to stand by and watch as the world passed by
but when it's time to take sides
you bark and growl with such pride
such loyal and faithful companions
but only when it serves your own ambitions
for when the tide turns and it's no longer fun
you'll turn your backs and be on the run
So let this be a lesson to all
don't be swayed by those who stand tall
for true friends are not just for the good
but also in times of fire and flood
dogs, oh dogs, so wise and cunning
but in the end, it's all just running
for when the chips are down and trouble brews
who will be there, true and loyal, for you?
Sake of selling their weapons, arms and ammunitions, they only want business and money, power is gone out of their hands.Shame on all of them.
They only know barking when they see their own rights are getting hurt not otherwise.
My upbringing in the U.S. was Christian, but I no longer believe in ANY 'god' or 'God'. My PH friend Asim (M. Asim Nehal) I believe is (or was 'born') a Muslim, based partly on my belief that 'M.' stands for one of the M-names in the following: (cont.)
I'm unable to be sure I understand who is who and what is what as you speak of dog(s) and master(s) and friend(s) , and AVOID using the words Jew(s) , Muslim(s) , Hamas, Iran, U.S., Russia, Ukraine, Palestinian(s) , etc.
Asim, your poem (its rhymes and 'flow') are poetically pleasing for me. But, I have trouble (and therefor have given up) trying to figure it out! !

(cont.) Arabic in origin, Mohamed means 'praiseworthy' or 'commendable' from the verb ḥammada. In its most widely recognised form, the name holds high regard in its ties to the founder of Islam—the prophet Muhammad.'
