Cry of a Donkey

Hi, this is Donkey !
an animal with no complain
either you love me or disdain
I am sad
but not mad
as you think of me
and you dont want to be
called by my name
for you its a shame !
how cruel is your approach
yet you will encroach
upon my world 
to carry the loads
of your dirty clothes
this is the irony 
of my agony
that I am born like this
wish I could be a fish
of your pond
but alas ! I am just an animal
with an ugly sound !
as I am not strong
so you will prolong 
the insult on my community
cant i live with dignity?????????????????????????????
delete poem




this is not a donkey's perpective but i relate myself with this animal too...sorry again!

Someone remarked that this is witty; I look at it with serious eyes musing on those who are quick to find faults in others while failing to notice their own! I also see the gap between upper and lower classes; racism, and people stuck with stigmas...Of course, no deleting, Smriti!! ~ Warm regards // paul
