Man Is Unique

The God gifted, granted nature Of each and every creature Is its characteristic recognition Revealing itself in unique action All rats are nibblers, wasters Dog barks on seeing strangers Cow gives sweet, maternal milk And a cocoon spins lusty silk It is only the creature named man Whose action is never certain What can he do or cannot do Is out of any certainty and clue Sometimes he can be a survivor But next moment a destroyer He is the only of all creatures That has lost his natural features He can save his own sisters But can smash all others He can save his own honor But can cause others dishonor He can be an angel for someone But for all the others brute demon He can be a worshiper at a place But a destroyer in another case Even his creator cannot know How much brutality he can show How he has lost his manly trends And created in him guilty brands
