Smash not a tender flower
Crush not a human person
When you can’t create life -
Have no right to
break one!
You may abhor a cockroach
A frog’s croak you
may detest
Dislike the long-necked giraffe
In monkeys don’t find any jest
Are allergic to a
wall walker lizard
Or hate the feet biting ant
Slander a crawling millipede
Or mock a tank-bellied elephant
Respect the person before you
Though different he may look
He is made in God’s own image
Haven’t you read the Holy Book?
He may not bow his head as you
Like you his knees he doesn’t bend
Will you break his living knees if
To your dear ways he doesn’t mend?
