# Beware Of Man

# Beware Of Man

********************

Mother duck left her duckling free,

"Go, enjoy, play free, in the lake,

I have taught you all,that I have,

Be alert,Take care,and be safe.

Whenever you touch the land-

Four-footed animals are there,

These animals kill and eat us-

Then, run and escape, don't dare."

Duckling floated and,jumped,

Came near shore, under the sky,

Listened to His own voice,

Enjoying echo of His own cry.

Near the shore of the vast lake,

A man pointed, and fired his gun,

Duckling just escaped and cried,

Ran madly for life, forgot all fun.

Later,He told his beloved mother-

"He was lovable, two-footed, like us,

But he was most dangerous creature,

I was just dead Mom,I was so nervous !

Four-footed animals kill only for hunger,

This brutal  animal-animal-I can't blame,

O!What a cruel, dangerous creature he was,

Was he the devil,playing butcher's game?"
