Chameleon

by Dr. Jaipal Singh



Chameleon - An innocent reptile Changes its colours For social signaling, and Camouflages with surroundings As a survival instinct And protection from enemies... The ingenious humans Give a negative shade To this natural instinct Drawing out a simile for Covert and deceitful overtures Of man in furtherance of Their selfish interests!

Thank you, Nathmal JI, for your frank opinion and comments. I basically wanted to flag is: what an innocent creature does it for survival, a large number of human beings do same in an unethical manner to serve their lust and greed.

Good comparison of chameleon and selfish persons.These days they are increasing very fast.Everywhere deception,corruption,immorality,falsehood,
dishonesty,jealousy and so many other evils are present.A right person is
bewildered.He is perplexed.An accurate path is not seen.At this time we
have to beaware of "girgit"nature persons.Thank you very much to make us
alert.We should identify these people and be cautious of them.Thanks again
for nice thoughts.
