A Dent At Human Vanity

A Dent At   Human Vanity

P K Routray

A nest by a meek bird swings with air

cyclone or tornado it does not care

as if making fun at wise man’s shocking plight

with blown roof, drowned road and no light.

The chicks of the weaver birds stay in cozy comfort

deprived are human children inspire of best effort

Looking at the beauty of such living abode

acknowledges the man defeat with head bowed.

Design, engineering and craftsmanship of its nest

man can never match even with their effort best

The selection of sticks and the exquisite artistry

bring the vanity in self crowned man to his knee.

Human wisdom worships beauty, love and silence

of all these three this weaver bird is the quintessence.
