When I was a child, I was vilolent

When I was a child
I was viloent
with animal instincts 
I used to break open the hidden eggs of garden lizards
deep beneath the lawn soil

I used to brutally kill the snails
lying beside the drain
to catch fish

I used to kill ants
roughshod
throwing them in a 1000 watt heater
while making tea

Today was talking to Karishma,
had an insight that
we all are nothing but animals
and with animal instincts
and this is the society
which grooms us to live the way it wants

As we grow
We become sensible
We more or less stop killing creatures

I have learnt so,
but there are hell lot of mobs
who still don't care about it
and recklessly
brutally
kill insects 
creatures
any small animal 
coming in the way.
