Dogs

There's a reason why dog spelled backwards is god. Because they were gods, put on earth secretly To live and breathe, hidden among us mortals, And to show us the reverberations of our kindness And our cruelty. To die after just a few short years So we shall know the pain that comes with pure love, And to be reborn again to teach more people— Us primitive beings— About the true meaning of life: to love with all your heart, And to live, right now, just as you are.
