It's a Dog's Life For Me

an agnostic dyslectic
stays up all night
wondering if there is a dog 

the Buddhists wonder 
about the Buddha nature of the dog

the evangelicals are sure that there is a dog
and you must follow their dog

or go to hell 
for following another's dog

the Muslims agree 
there is only one dog

and the dogs 
smile at the foolishness 

of the human race
of course, there is a dog

and they are the master race
as they growl at their owners

who bow down 
and clean up their mess

I admire you strategic use of words. Ironically, I just penned a poem about a dog and got a sarcastic remark on it immediately. You may want to check out My Ol' Houn' Dog! I intend to read more of your work. Merry Christmas!
