Guess who said this?
I think I could turn and live with animals; they are so
placid and self contained.
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and
whine about their condition.
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins.
They do not make me
sick discussing their duty to god.
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania
Of owning things.
Not one kneels to another, nor to his
Kind that lived thousands
of years ago.
Not one is respectable or unhappy
Over the whole earth.
These beautiful lines belong to Walt Whitman. Powerful lines to portray the
noble and beautiful life of animals free from care and fear, guilt and jealousy
and how they are at ease with themselves. Contrast this with the rich and the
affluent looking miserable always, with all pomp and power. Shamelessly but
more scrupulously these rotten
elements fall at the feet ,cry for a
while when situation demands, accumulate
money in billions at home and buy islands overseas, molest the river by excavating all the sands, make
the mountain and rivers disappear, and do not fail to worship their goddess and
invoke the name for every word they utter. Are they respectable? Will the real
god make them happy?Because of kneeling down again and again their immune capacity will improve and live long and loot the nation
in the name of democracy-buy the people ,off the people and remain far away from the people. Give subsidy in
thousands and tax them in crores.Will
this drama be enacted forever? Is there no God to tame the rascalised criminals
and blood suckers who rape the mother earth and disturb the eco system? Animals
are happy .Do not disturb them
