Once upon a time there lived in woods,
a small rabbit who was very naive.
It assumed it knew everything,
the way of cunning world in which it was alive.
" Be friends with everyone",
this is what it always believed in,
"Never hurt anyone",
this is what it considered the biggest sin.
Despite these ideals,it did hurt many,
knowingly or the other way,
it couldnt bear the despise from any,
Which landed it on the grounds of grief and dismay.
The other animals didnt hate it,
nor did they love,
What pricked it the most then??,
it was adoration then,its a formality now.
how rude it is,
"to gain someone, you'd have to loose the other".
Whats the point in being such a society,
Where friendship is such a bother!!
Rabbit grew smarter,
It learnt a lesson,
"Talk to everyone,
be friends to none".
There is a rabbit in me now,
It has got into me somehow.
I confess I have started being skin-deep,
Its better for me than to cry and make others weep.
