Dog's Life

How do I know what it feels like?
To be stuck inside all day.
How can I know what it feels like?
To have everything my own way.
You have complete freedom,
Within these windows and walls.
You have complete authority,
Over your four paws.
Your life is good,
But it is nothing great.
You don’t suffer
You never hate
But suffering and hate are just a part
Of what makes life worth living, from finish to start.
