Poem Title:
Poem
It takes out one positive thought To survive and thrive to overpower The entire army of negative thought-- R. Schuller. Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth But, stand away from my diagram it may confuse you A man can't make a place for himself in the sun If he keeps taking refuse under the family tree. It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but ourselves, In the presence of trouble, some people grow wings Others buy crutches but here I buy dreams. If only I am not foolish but as wise as humans I would have rule the world at ease, If only I could eat eat human' food I would have have human brain and tread the lane of Success. The cud in my mouth I would have chew not But reason with reasons not to underestimate my will. The world is a great place with people of integrity But my kind are neglected because of lack of wisdom If only I could fly like the birds of the earth I would have watch over the beauty of the world, Then sing a melodious song to redeem the world of sin. If only I could be a peacock not a goat, I would have been the most beautiful animal on earth But now I am a senseless goat who's does not know His rights in the human society. If only I could run as fast as the ostrich, Life could have been easier for me. If only humans don't kill us at festivals, Life to my kind could have been meaningful, If only we don't eat grasses but rice and beans We would compete with humans in Government. If only we could dance like humans, Our kingdom could have been the most joyful. If only we have hands and legs like humans We would own farmlands and go to the market To sell our wares in large quantities and make money. If only we have gods and goddess, We could have prayed for a greater kingdom of the goats but things don't turn up in this world until someone turn them up.
