It Is Mind, If You Mind Not Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Ere, when life was a lowly yeast,
There was a mind, nor yet a thought,
It acted just as Nature taught.
And then it was born as a beast,
With some mind but no reasoned thought,
And scarce could rise above its lot.
But now, born a human being—
Human for sure, humane the least,
The brain is sure still evolving,
And heart a mere valve under breast,
Pumping blood with little feelings
And oblivious of sufferings,
God thought, man would grow beyond mind,
But fettered, he's hardly declined.
