Let Animals Teach Man Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

The plants and trees fruits to us distribute
asking not our religious cult or caste.
Animals give us milk querying not
if we’re of the sect of man-eater or meat-hater.
The wind blows gentle and fast
all over the earth to cheer up things alive.

The rivers make the lands fertile
minding not the line of control,
drawn to control human longing.
The rains drizzle, shower and pour on us
and our children with verve
run out in glee to wet in it.

The Sun beams His rays
All over the Universe.
And He never rends us
into crooked religious sects.
The silver moon never reserves
His cool face to any one place.

All of us after death
are missed and lost into the Earth.
It doesn’t matter if he is,
a dictator or a beggar carried to the burial site.
Same change takes place in the corpse.
Equal care is ensured to consume the body.

But man, man, man alone
the owner of the sixth sense,
preaches to kill people
whether they are of his own race
or some others the prophets named them.
Let the elephants and the monkeys
teach him love to love his race.
