im just a stray dog barking to the passing traffic & pedestrians/

letting the world know im still here/

hoping they notice me and my broken body/

hoping they give me a proper burial/

treat me with kindness one last time before i go/

then let the ground claim what is his/

my body/

but i know thats just a wild dream for a stray dog like me/

im content with dying on this corner/

i will not get my burial/

but it makes sense/

what stray dog gets a tombstone/
