(Revelation 22:15 NIV)
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
<No Pets Allowed>
These days, many of the people think that the dog is the family,
Like other the dirty, You made the dogs be outside
My Lord! I cannot admit Your Words, easily
‘Cause they are the faithful animal and always they abide
By their owners, and rush to welcome tails wagging and yelling.
You treated their doing like the rotten eggs’ doing?
It’s the reason that there’s the sign board written in “No Pets Allowed”
In the front gate of the catholic-church at the Han-river side.
I thought that the priest afraid their barking loud,
But in Bible it’s written that the dogs can’t go inside.
What the reason? Or the priest can’t understand the dogs’ Confessions?
Or You want to lead the animals to the temples? That’s my questions.
In the world, there’re many people who’re worse than the dog,
For the Faithful Animal, why did not sent a hogg?

- Comment from author about the poem: In these days, many people think that the pets are their family. But by the chapter 22:15 of the Revelation, the dogs are treated as the other lousy persons, and I found the placard, "No Pets Allowed" at the entrance of the church which is located in the Han-River. The church obey the Words or other reason, I don't know.

I feel that it does not mean actual dogs. Aww, why shut them out of heaven? But I don't believe it means literal dogs.
It has a sinister meaning - it means practising homosexuals, or sodomites, as they were called in Biblical times. Could apply to practising lesbians also.
That church has taken the words literally, I think.
Dear Orchidee
Hi! Thank you for your comments. I agree with you. In Korea former days, we called the lousy person as " A son of the dog", but these days, as " the guy who is inferior to the dog"
Thank you for your interesting to my theme. Have nice days! Have a good weekend!

a searching write, thanks for sharing
as a lover of dogs, I agree
with your central argument
indeed:
'In the world, there’re many people who’re worse than the dog,'
(the study of words as dogma
is the questioning of meaning
the quest for meaning
is that most redeeming, nature
of all beings...
dear Poet, never cease your inquisitiveness
dig deep, find your own answers
do not be lead, like blind sheep
read all the books
heed all their recognisable truth's, question
everything else..
if deities wanted us to follow, meekly
why the eye, why the ear
why, the mind?
free, to determine our own paths in life!)
Dear Mek
Hi! Thank you for your kind comments. I found the bible for the word of "dog", and it reminds me the slogan of the catholic church located in the side of the Han-River. I wrote the poem in mixed in my mind the sentence of the Bible and the slogan of the church gate. And I can cast the thought in the poem.
I agree your comments. Thank you so much! Have nice days!
Best regards.
Kinsley
