THE BIRD LEARNT

THE ART OF LIVING

(ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY )

The bird was in the cage
in olden time
Oh ! the nightingale
And her rhythm and rhyme
Now she's inspired ,
Observant and optimistic
sing melodious songs of joy
full of confidence
getting real essence of valuable life
With chalk , stethoscope
on the flowery land
And fly high in the infinite sky
Wow ! in this world of cut throat
competition
fight against terrorism
on the border hand in hand
serving her motherland
Sweet soft and strong
neglected all frogs croaked
defeated prancing tiger with her wisdom
learnt the art of living
