Once upon a time long ago
A Cuckoo found A Peacock crying,
When she was near the riverbank
Heartbroken the peacock was lying.

"What happened to you? Oh, Friend!
Why are you so hopeless and sad?"
"Oh! It's because of my ugly legs
Can't you see how they look bad?"

"But why will you cry for that?
After having such beauty of yours."
"Because it is a black mark on me
And it destroys my beauty, I'm sure."

"It's bad to see such a handsome
And god gifted creature also cries,
When nobody cares for your feet
On your wings, all the attention lies."

"Look at me, I'm an ugly bird
Not at all as colourful as you,
But still, people don't hate me
They like me for what I do."

"My voice is what attracts them
Not my ugly and black appearance,
People think you are luckily pretty
You are so sad, nobody can guess."

"Don't try to search
negativitynegativityn your self, My Dear.
Others will see you as you see yourself
And about this, I am totally clear."
