A Difference

A difference

P K Routray

Man and animal

both classified as mammal,

breastfeed their offspring,

have same limbs with similar functioning.

Both are having flesh, blood and bone

and from mother’s womb both are born.

Sleep, drink and eat they to live and thrive,

hide, fight they to protect themselves to survive.

To sustain their clan, they both procreate

but lies a difference in their urge innate

To meet the bodily demands, the animals strive.

but the man pursues the mission of soul till he is alive.
