The Guard Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

Just look at the plight of -
my little daughter.

To safeguard one from the other
she has to safeguard her little cat-
from her dog.
she has to safeguard her little chick-
from her little cat.
she has to safeguard her loving sister-
from her angry mother.
she has to safeguard her loving mother-
from her bossy father.

It is only the father, mother and the sister-
who come to her rescue sometimes and-
safeguard each other and her too-
with love.
