Some People… Poem by K. V. Venkataramana

Some people are born on this earth
To make others' lives miserable;
Some people are born on this earth
To do good to the poor and vulnerable.

Some people are born on this earth
To exploit their own fellowmen;
Some people are born on this earth
To render protection to children and women.

So let the motto of everyone be
To live and let others live
And to light a lamp of hope
For those who are forlorn and unable to survive.
