The Murmer Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The Murmer



He boasts about my character, habits
My loyalty, to serve him as my master
In my mind that I carries the burden of slavery
The excruciating pain of chains,
Filth smell in the kennel
Hell that I experience in my cage
I am bound to bark when some strangers intrude
My roars are to be heightened with fearing sounds
I know a little disobedience, he will punish me
I know a little carelessness will lose my job
Here I continues my life in this kennel
As long as I am capable to look after the home
And my loyalty that makes me fit for life.
