Once spewing venom, was stuffed

peed on by a woman.

The Best Poem Of Devesh Path Sariya
Sheep
Sheep lack both—
the ability to choose the right leader
and the courage to overthrow the wrong one.
And as history tells,
These traits are also rare
in humans.
Humans must first
Untangle their courage
from their etiquettes
Before learning
the lesson of discipline
from sheep.
(Translation from Hindi by Shivam Tomar)
