A Perception Poem by Rajesh Thankappan
A Perception
Is there not a difference
A perceivable emotional difference
When, let me say, we behold an unglamorous crow
Pierced to dead by a deadly arrow
Or when we sight a beautiful parrot
That too had met a similar end?
Is there a difference
A perceivable emotional difference
When people get killed
Across the length and breadth of the globe
And the way we reserve our sobs?
You have asked a big question - a profound one. Yes. There is a difference. When the one that has gone is close, the pain is more. The size also matters. No one concerns oneself with the death of an ant or a fly. But the death of a pet or a close relative brings in a torrent of sobs. Life is like that. Good write.

Yours is a genuine doubt.... Unfortunately even our sobs are conditioned! Discrimination continues from birth to the grave! But we cannot help it! The death of a dear one affects us more than the death of a distant one which is quite natural....! It all depends! A very logical write!
