In today's complex world
Full of questions and hazards
Where some voices go unheard
And people have conflicting standards
Sometimes I wish
That for a little time
I could be less human-ish
And more canine
I could run like crazy
And bark like a dog
And after hours of playing
I'd skeep like a log
I could jump and yip
As a clever little fox
With agility and wit
I could skip over rocks
I could join the chase
As a strong hunting wolf
In an open, starry space
I could just howl and woof
Somedays I'd like
To be of genus Canis
For I'd enjoy being doglike
When humanity gets on my wits
