The Words. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The cock was so happy on this day
The head so straight and head flower erect
Making beautiful sounds to attract the hens
The only happiness he knows was love
And love making whenever a chance gets
The cock was fixed to finish on the day
When a guest appeared in the house
The powerful cock tried its best to escape
The children somehow caught it in hand
The poor one expected a last escape
And tried its best to fly in the air
And sit in the nearby tree with its heavyweight
All in a while the hens looked with pity
Knowing well they have lost the dear one
By hook or crook humans catches and kills
Their preys in pretension of something
And telling themselves they highlight love.
The beautiful emotion nurtured in words.
