Second Nature  How can an ant be so strong? The burden it carries many times over.  How can a leaf ride a storm? Navigate through the gushes of wind.  How can an owl see in the dark? Its shiny eyes stare at the blind.  How can pollen grow in a barren land? It sucks the moisture from dry air.  How can a dog have so much faith? An unconditional love for its master.  How can a rose keep a smile? When the admirers look to kill.  How can God be so forgiving? Its creation has been nothing but trouble.        1Rahil: Two PoemsPublished by / Publié par Scholars Commons @ Laurier, 2021The Dog That Went Astray  Where I used to live Street dogs were a common sight I was afraid of the dog bite Rabies didn’t forgive.   Environment was not kind It was poverty which led Cows in search of the shed Humans were not far behind.  A dog would linger around It was looking for food Whatever could be chewed Picked garbage on the ground.  It would come each day The food thrown by my mother I felt we could trust each other It would respond in such a way.  One day, I saw its temper fray The echoes of an angry bark Mob that ruled in the dark The dog that went astray.    2The Goose, Vol. 19, No. 1 [2021], Art. 9https://scholars.wlu.ca/thegoose/vol19/iss1/9PREETINDER RAHIL is a physician by profession.
