Dr.Muhammad Ishaq Abbasi "Monkeys"

Monkeys

It was dusk and the entire forest was silent

Suddenly the cuckoo started singing for a moment.

There I saw a lot of monkeys by flowing stream,

They communicated through grunt and scream.

Used all four limbs to leap from tree to tree,

Mentally they seemed very happy and free.

Lived both in the tree and on the ground,

Physically they were tricky, skillful and sound.

Fought for each other and took care of one another,

Spent lot of time together and ate together.

Some monkeys were gentle and some were aggressive,

While some were naughty and some were very pensive.

They were known for their playful and energetic Nature,

Carried their babies on their shoulders and did nurture.

Often had a sense of humor and liked to make others laugh,

They conveyed a message of peace and security on their behalf.
