"If: A reply to Pablo Neruda's "A Dog has Died"
If I am your Dog who had died,
I want to see how much gallons of tears you have cried.
Living in this world is a competition.
With that, thank you for your appreciation.
If I'm a nobody's dog, I'll wish to have you as my owner.
You care for your dog very much just like a lover.
I want someone like you beside me when I'm gone
For this world doesn't know how to have fun.
If I'm a fellow dog owner,
A dying dog is my fear.
I think I'll cry and whine,
For missing them is missing the sunshine.
If I am you, I'll still do the same.
I'll write a poem but not for fame.
Pens will cry due to my pain.
I'm hoping that this, won't go in vain.
