As If Human Children! Poem by Ramesh T A

All domestic cute birds and squirrels live
A peaceful life by cooperation and coordination
Among themselves singing songs of love ever!

What a care-free life they live mocking at men
Who pride themselves as masters of civilization
With modern technological advancements in pollution!

No peace, love and joy modern men have in life,
But only worries and nightmares with no respite
To live as birds and squirrels who play and live!

What a life man has embraced to live in the world!
The squirrels roll round my legs, when I am reading
Newspaper in the morning making me give company to them!

I laugh and share this beautiful squirrels' plays
As if human children in my house now and then...!
