Mud and Man

by Prof. Madhav Sarkunde

Lotus is born in the mud
So does anyone go to live
Out there in the mud?

Those doting on mud
Can fling mud at you anytime,
You cannot guess it.

Scientists convince us that
Initially, we were an ameba
What does it mean anyway?
Were we all born in the mud?
Were our ancestors just mud?

Forget what our past was
And learn to distinguish
Between the acts of man
And mud properly.

And also take care!
Don't let your house of mud
Also make your mind like mud
Because the mud degenerates
And man is born to generate!
