Man and Animal

a poem by Satish Kakri

First it was an animal
Progress made him man
Darwin’s Evolution theory
Explains as best as it can.

When did the animal;
The human brain secure?
Which stage of evolution
Desire for knowledge grew more?

When knowledge was for progress
Saner causes did it find
Used for personal, selfish needs
And knowledge became of unsound kind.

As in jungle, brutish beasts behave,
In our cultured society, humans rave.
Some are outspoken, some discreet
Trampling future of others
With their damned feet!
