We are the beautifully ugly toads, <br />Never seen a concreted road, <br />Hiding behind the convenient baskets, <br />Always croak to the unheard noise, <br />Scared of getting battered and bullied, <br />Toasted and grilled after marinated, <br />Dried and pounded with sticky words, <br />All our life we live as the toads, <br />Hiding behind someone’s back, <br />Away from the troubles and tortures, <br />During the time of confrontation, <br />We leap to another heavenly place, <br />Leaving our former shelter as a ruse, <br />We are squeaky clean and start to croak.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-toady-world/
