THE TRUTH OF THE AGES
"She takes somersault on knives",
I bleed by the thorns of a rose bud.
Swarms of killer bees inside hives,
Wait for us daily, to drink our blood.
A puppy that I fed once during a walk,
And saved it from street urchins remembers me,
Months have passed but it wags its tail,
And shows it is overjoyed to walk with me.
Are we really the best of God's creations,
I ask myself again and again when I see,
How man betrays man and cares not a whim,
About how he turns himself into an enemy.
So it is no use thinking any more,
When the writing on the wall is clear to read,
We who take somersaults on knives,
Should beware of our own kind and creed.
A dog or a horse is better than humans,
These creations of God are faithful and loyal,
While being good in thoughts and in actions,
We must, however, avoid the villanous foil.
