THE DOG IN KIVULU by Ralph Bitamazire.

The dog in Kivulu,
Thin, bony and yawning;
The dog in Kivulu,
Panting and squatting
Like its master.
The dog in Kivulu,
Barking at naked children,
Children who sing a thanksgiving
As they leave the rubbish heaps.
The dog in Kivul,
Running away from fat flies
And scratching its tail with teeth,
Biting nothing but its own gums,
Swallowing nothing more than its own saliva.
The dog of Kivulu,
Guarding its drunkard master
And the hoard of fermenting millet,
Kwete and malwa in clay-pots.
But the dog of Kivulu
Lies by, with nothing to drink;
Nobody calls it Acaali, the bitch,
It looks on - at the trenches —
And drinks the water from the cattleshed.

To make analysis of any poem or litarary work you have to know the historical background of the poet or author, however the simple analysis of this poem can be as follow:
The poem is symbolically representing favouritism where by able body people are regarded while unable body people are disregarded.this can be proved when the poet says.. The dog of kivulu barking at naked children... The dog of kivulu running away from fat flies....
Naked children symbolise weak or poor people while fat flies are the symbols of strong or rich people who are favoured by the dog(police)

2:Discrimination as dog is not regarded dispite of her work to master
3:mulnutrition found in the first and second stanza.......bonny thin also yawning
..means the dog is poorly fed
4.
