The Watch Dogs


Who are the wary watch dogs here?
Are those who bark more to buy fear?
Too many voices with too few views.
Shouts are meant to strut their hues.
Scriptures swept by flesh and bones,
Turn vulnerable to bottles and stones.
Standing talks and sedentary smacks,
Set up the stage for warring whacks.

To be a watch dog is to ward off risk
And not to be barking ever,just to frisk.
Bulldozing theories barely bear a fruit;
It is the sniffer dogs that smell their route.
The truest watchdogs are alert all around.
With thought, word and deed well bound.
