He is Guilty   by Margaret Aliger

Ksey_Gan

And yet I insist,

And yet reason insists:

 

Is the snake guilty of being am snake

Or the porcupine born a porcupine?

Or the two-humped asians camel really?

Or some monster in some state fatally ?

But the scoundrel is guilty of being a scoundrel.

He was born a man after all: and remain a person shall!!

    Ah a wonderful meaning to this poem deep and philosophical it speaks to the issue of nature vs nurture and the Christian idea of free will. Nicely put.
