' Why Can'T We ' Poem by Palani Varadharajan

Butterflies don't have mouth,
yet they live here colourfully,

Hanging Bats don't have eyes,
yet they live here fearlessly,

Crocodiles don't have tongue,
yet they live here powerfully,

Water crabs don't have head,
yet they live here actively,

Creeping Snakes don't have ears,
yet they live here cautiously,

Tortoises don't have teeth,
yet they live here peacefully,

Shelled Snails don't have bones,
yet they live here harmlessly,

Jumping Frogs don't have neck,
yet they live here joyfully,

Swimming Fishes don't have eyelids,
Yet they live here sourcefully,

God has given us everything,
Why can't we live happily?
