Story of Mine

by Goodbye   Apr 29, 2008


I was born in cold prison
My mother was beautiful
Father I have never met in my life.
I was born with my brothers and sisters
in one cold evening
Soon after that they gave us a name
They put a collar to our head
Our mother was happy we were born
but I scent something sad about her
I didn't understand it until we were old
enough to "be given away"
It was not that they could not keep us
they didn't want us, they sold us away..
I remember how it happened
I was happily playing with my brother
and then she came, a girl with pink dress
she shouted to her mother
"how adorable! Mommy I want this.
I will give her a name "Nini"
They removed my collar and places another one
I had a new identity and nobody asked me a thing
This girl, Annie, she thought I am her new doll
She dressed me up in doll's clothes and
carried me everywhere she went..
I learned to like her, mostly she was nice
but I missed my mother and sibling
I had no idea what happened to them..
She grew up, a way too fast, if you ask me
She went to school and met new friends
I stayed at home when her parents and she was a way
All day long I used wait until you came back
I was wagging my tail and lick your face
I wanted you feel welcome to your home..
After couple of years I was not your best friend anymore
You didn't care about me so much
I was fed everywhere my I never got my dosage of love
I was sad but what could a slave do? Nothing..
One day you got too bored to me..
You were moving a different country and your parents decided to give me away..
I ended up to one young fellow...
He took good care of me
Life was brighter, happier
One morning when we had a walk I met him
the most handsome dog in this neighborhood
Now I have kids with him...
I am like my mom used to be..
I know now what her sad face met...

This poem describes a life of a dog.. I am sad for all the pets who have to go Thru this. I think we human are so selfish to wards to animals... We treat them...like they are not a living object... This is the reason...I will...never have a pet. My heart could not bear it...

    I too had a dog n his name was Doggie.... N I had brought him up like a child, a brother..

    He used 2 do all things from playing, guarding, fetching newspapers n milk n I v even seen him smiling n crying with d mood of d family...

    Till in my absence sumone that I cannot tell... tortured him, forcibly made him drink liquor, tied him in heavy rain & left him shivering, n one day just got rid of him... dropped him sumwhere my whole family searched n never found... we put itz photo in news papers..

    N we r searching 4 him even 2day after 3 years with a hope..... He went thru everything all with a smile n always respected n wagged his tail 2 d person who did it..... But d person never heard his sighs or cries...

    N this is a sad n lovely composition..

    We should love our pets not like slaves but like our blood relation..

    N there r no best friends than pets...

    Lovely poem Noorie... keep it up.....
