The Nearest Are Most Hated Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The Nearest Are Most Hated



Eagles and owls,
Monkeys, pigs and donkeys,
All untouchable to us, live
In their places unthreatened.
You are not to decimate them.
Why do you want to decimate
Your own race held by you
As the untouchable or unacceptable?
