The Twin Birds..... Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The twin birds accompanied always
One silent in all activities
The other one initiated things its own
When foul play noticed, the first one tells
Restrain yourself, and ask, introspect
And take a decision on your own friend
The twin birds were wisest when born
But the second one always acted
Own self judgement without fear
Somewhere it failed and introspection stopped
The first one told it is wrong
But the second one hesitated to listen
And took its own judgement to act with
He miserably failed in real life
And lost his own will power and intelligence
The wisest of things are mutual respect
The strong one takes the wise one's advise.
