Gender determined behavioural change
Looking at wayside beggars with disdain
Religious bias, our prejudice strange

Fairer skin colour, making us feel vain
The way we dress and speak, ego complex
Shifty eyes belie, that our heart is stained

Conflicting emotions, puzzle and vex
In truth we yearn for childlike innocence 
This life game of pretence, leaves us perplexed

Let us rise hermit, from our fallen stance
Death will come one day, meanwhile let us dance
