What Man Has Made Of Man

Acknowledgement--- The Basic Thought Behind This Poem Was Taken From The Original Written By An Annanimous Poet Under The Same Title Which The Composer (Self) Came Across While On a Train Journey In Kerala Some Time Now Nearly Seven Years Ago.It Was Quite Impressive to Prompt Me To Modify The Same In Places And Rewrite The Original To Present The Same With A Better Appeal To The Readers.To What Extend I Have Succeeded In Doing So,Only The Readers Can Comment.Whatever It Be, I Am Indebted To The Original Annanimous Poet Without Whose Original This Rebith Could Not Have Taken Place.


As I Wander Lonely As A Cloud
Amidst The Psalm Of Life
I Watch The Birds Of Different Creeds
Living Their Lifes Side By Side.

Oft I Wonder At Their Moral Will
Of Live And Let Live In Midst Of All
Seldom Do I Find Them Fight
Over Food Or Drinks etal.

When I See These Birds In Midst Of Men
Far Grown In Might A Thousand Times
What I Find Am sad To Say
Nothing But Evil Makes Their Way.

Petty Quarrels And Fights Apart
Men I Find Are Mean And Harsh
Little Do They Share Their Gains
Letting Down Is All They Harp.

But How Can This Be What Heaven Bestowed
With What The Tiny Birds Showing The way
How Can This Be The Nature's Plan
For What Men Do On Their Own?

If This Belief From Heaven Be Sent
If Such Be Nature's Holy Plan
Do I Not Have Cause To Lament
What Man Has Made Of Man?
