O’ Man! Walk Like A Silent Elephant! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

A hen which laid egg only one
by squatting for some time,

it flies and perches over roof top,
cackling and shouting with joy,

walks with pride majestically
as if it has delivered the universe!

But a giant elephant with its might
uproots the full grown tree at sight!

throws away with entire root in the sky,
walks away without slightest tantrum, if any – Hence

one shouldn't behave like a cackling hen - But O’ Man!
walk like a silent elephant without least arrogance!
