Donkeys Crossed The Red Light !

There I was , at the Traffic Signal ,waiting for my turn to buzz off on my bike , and watching other vehicles in the opposite side moving with Green Signal on their side. And as soon as The Signal for my Side turned Green and for other side turned Red, there came running a herd of Donkeys ( Around 8-9 from the lane having Red Light ) and broke all Traffic rules and started to run in the middle of the road with an urge to hurriedly reach somewhere I think they dint even would have liked ! ( Common Guys I am not talking about Software Guys ! Even though the similarity of rushing to a place (their company,which they can never like ) is common :) ) .
Taking Advantage of this "Donkey Rush" some of the elite,educated and some not so elite and educated "HUMANS" started to cross along with them giving a Damn and a grin to the Red light on their side hiding behind the Donkey Backs to cross the road. And then something really Amazing happened. Looking at these educated elite and so called intelligent HOMO SAPIENS behave in such a way, all the Donkeys stopped running and stood there right in the middle of the road. Now I guess There could be two possible reasons for this behavior of Donkeys :
One , they are made this way to do stupid things at their will and look stupid,
The other one which i felt was that the Donkey's felt a deep DANGER to their existence,presence,unique Identity,personal characteristics and respect they have earned all these years with their stupidity getting stolen by These educated ,manner full,sophisticated citizens of India !
They saw these educated Software Engineers, bankers, Salespersons etc behave in a way that is only expected of Donkeys , which made all the donkey's fear about the increasing population of these "Educated Donkeys" in our country .
Donkeys must have felt jitters down their spine citing a danger to their Uniqueness being copied by this "educated clan of Donkeys" . Now who would give the poor Donkey the respect it deserved, as we have our own factories in name of stereotypic colleges,schools, institutions producing lacs of these educated Donkeys each year !!!

I myself was unsure, as it seemed a process of Reverse evolution and Forward evolution taking place at the same time. Reverse evolution as the Humans acted as Donkeys , taking Donkey cover to break all traffic rules with no civic sense crossed the road and Forward evolution as Donkeys stopped while running, as if they saw the red light and behaved in a way that is actually expected of Humans !

Whatever it was , One thing I am sure of is "Donkeys Crossed Red Light" ....
