Pain Of A Pet Poem by lalitha iyer

Pain Of A Pet



Poor thing
it watches through the caged doors
the smell of life
it pulls it from far afar
the scent of friends
souls of same fathers
peeps in
but pain grows more

Pet, are you, a pet?
inside the alien world
fattier and lonelier
with nobody to share
the natural desires of species
with none to mirror
what your heart rears.

in the house of a rich man
slave of whims and fancies
the pet pissed off for worldies
just alone, in the corner, the single heart
is it weeping or sad or grieving for a counterpart
barking for familiarity
family and funds of simple hais
a bite here, a push there, a pull up
and a push down
a pet is sad, pining alone
its urge to father groans
its mating heart moans.
