Theme : Violence  
A Specimen of The Human Race
by Dr. Manasi Dutt

I am a specimen of the human race
The one supposed to be
At the tip of the animal pyramid
To such a thought
Many humans are by reservation caught
Since frequently
Humans tend to settle a difference
With some sort of violence
Humans carry arms and gun
Sometimes they kill other animals
Just for fun
When there's a big dispute
The humans draw their gun
And their enemy they shoot
When the dispute escalates
To a level higher
The humans may start a preemptive war
At times the war turns into a World war
When millions of humans are slaughtered
Of other animals, nobody keeps track
By the cruelty and brutality of the human kind
Other animals are generally surprised
At times I'm not proud of belonging to the human race
Instead I'd rather have a pussy cat's face
A cat has only one goal on this earth
Giving and receiving warmth
Their giving and receiving love never ends
This rule a cat never bends
A cat lives to be cradled, cuddled and stroked
A cat is heavenly to behold
A cat doesn't know how to use a gun
She only knows how to purr for fun
A pussy cat brings peace and harmony
In this world torn with war and tyranny.
One thing I know for sure
I don't wish to witness any world war
When millions of humans are killed
When with despair the world is filled
A war is human's grotesque creation
Which is beyond any other animal's
Wildest imagination.
