We misread.

Take the foam afloat the tides

As mark of violence

Oblivious to compassion

Lying, as ovum, beneath the sea floor.

We never learn.

Expect voices lie in audible spectrum

Without realizing,

Whether it greets with love

Or attacks in anger

A Tiger’s voice lies on the same scale.

We don’t realize.

Treat it a sin

When somebody is taciturn

Failing to distinguish

Between diffidence

And conceit.

We don’t empathize.

If someone opens his heart out

Oblivious to favors and prejudice,

We take it as his vanity,

Failing to discern

Studied opinion

From Carping

Without attempting to know,

Recognize, realize or observe

We march ahead with confidence

With our preconceived notions.
