Horse or Donkey?

A donkey is the laziest of animals,

even adjective is made of its name

There is no incentive for it to walk fast
neither desire to make good a name


It is therefore good to carry the bag of clothes
or bricks on its simple back
Nothing accelerates it nor does it slow
either a pat or a kick on its back


The washerman uses it as a robot
to carry load from home the river bank .
And lest it goes astray on seeing grass,
ties its mouth to feed from home bank

If the washerman is happy
the donkey gets its home feed day in and day out
And the day boss is angry on his out,
put he is unceremoniously kicked out

In contrast a horse is an animal
of high IQ who helps the man to his best
He can walk, run and virtually fly
in a race to swell the jockey's chest

Caress him on face, fondle his mane
his back and you get a plane
To fly the messengers on rough terrain
and Kings on fields plain

There are enough stories of his obedience
and service to master
That it will beat any other animal
in service of man as the master



Therefore a horse is less of animal
and more of a friend of the man
If ever you kick him he will refuse
to move an inch like a statue of man

An upset and unwilling horse
is the most difficult pet for man to tame
Bucephalus could teach a lesson to
Alexander the Great of world fame





In a man on spiritual plane the
Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh reside
But as animal he is a cocktail of Man,
donkey and horse of pride

A man living alone troubled
by problems in his life may at best
Look a lazy donkey to be kicked
but is actually a horse at rest






Encourage him, chat him and
he will make you feel so much high.
But kick him, hurt and insult him
he may go for other planet high
