I saw a hen tuck chicks,
Its instinct never feigns.
Realities in their reigns
All free from gimmicks.
I learnt from my pet dog
It wags its tail, a love-sign,
Protects the house of mine,
Keeps its master from fog,
I watched the butterfly fly
Flower to flower for honey
Care a pin to the rules any:
Not to allow any passer-by.
Insects, animals, and birds
Know no lies to misguide
Know no pretexts to hide
Try no sugarcoated words.
They glow in real colors
No disguise to look true
No mask in blue be blue
Indeed, fair are creatures.
Tending to pretend never
By their false appearance,
A scintillating side-glance,
To hide their actual nature,
They are what they appear
A goat-skinned wolf never
A cow-faced tigress never
A snake in the grass never.
