Dejected and dissipated <br />Assailed by arrogances <br />Armed with anger and <br />Alarmed by the ever increasing needs <br />Sought solution to my problems! <br /> <br />Guide directed to see around! <br /> <br />A monkey was passing by <br />An unconcerned loitering <br />Little ones hanging down- <br />The belly of the wanderer <br /> <br />“This could be your winning way” <br />Came the interlude from the guide <br />Uncompromising and unyielding <br />Looked around for my support <br /> <br />Saw a cat ferocious with <br />A mouthful of kitten oblivious <br />Of teeth or the world around <br />Mother made the decisions all <br />Progeny had no concern <br />Nothing harmed generation next <br /> <br />This could be my winning way <br />Where’s my mother to carry me?<br /><br />rajagopal haran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-the-monkey-s-way/
