The sixth sense of Man
reason makes and mars
his demeanour.
Mammals and reptiles
act on intuition,
impulsive they remain.
Comprehension teaches Man
to be good and kind, if
learnt in the right way,
Once his objective turns perverted
pandemonium surfaces
deceit, envy and greed outweigh.
Man aims beyond his reach
succeeds, loses his head
turns inhuman,
as is seen widely among
powerful and wealthy.
Many leaders go crazy
behave insane, act devilish
rule like a maniac, purport
racial distinction.
Animals remain close to nature,
never try to overreach, show
no malice, remain stable.
They act on impulse,
do not succumb to
deceit and envy.
The juxtaposition
leaves a trail of entities
positive and negative.
