Kidding And Killing Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Kidding And Killing

Rating: 5.0


Killing is a difficult job,
even the beasts regret their killings,
though they are constrained to hunt
on the call of nature.
The clever man has made it easy,
when he learned the art of kidding,
the innocent and ignorant masses,
with a lot of superstitions in their hearts,
then started a series of killings.
The kidding is very easy,
just forecast a promised land,
where there no fruit is forbidden,
and then leave it on them,
they will leave no stone unturned,
to see your forecast comes true.
I was better when I was a beast,
I was not a man at least!

So true. Beasts kill without anger, pride or greed, just instinct and will to eat and live. Man invents falsehoods and indoctrinates his fellow man to kill for revenge, religion and resources. In this case, I too would prefer to be a beast and not lumped in with man.
