*we Are Born Dressed Poem by C. P. Sharma

How ignorantly I say, we were born naked!
While exquisitely His creations He dressed

Beautiful fur coat to the reindeer provide
Pinkish fawn is the spotted deer’s pride

Colored feather coats the birds adorn
Fearsome stripes by the tigers worn

Chameleons can change their dress hue
Each living being’s color code safety imbues

The civilized dress code is a trademark
While even the trees wear leaf and bark

In Nature’s dress lies beauty and health
The civilized ‘burqua’* is waste of wealth

Made up dress is a commercial term
In made apparels the being squirms

*burqua is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions to cover their bodies when in public.
