Saw the crane on the tree <br />At eye level towards Guru Nanak hospital <br />So, white even Joti and Tilla commented: <br />I felt that despite the mud <br />And black sewage where he forages, <br />He is looking spotlessly white. <br /> <br />We in Tamil literature read <br />Of lotus coming out of the mud; <br />But not so much of white crane <br />Pure as ice in similar environment <br />If not, worse? Unequal treatment. <br />Prevails everywhere in Life as in Nature. <br /> <br />14.08.2013<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inequality-2/
