ANIMAL KINGDOM (31)Save Wildlife
********************************
He has killed his fifth prey-point blank,
Dead bodies are just laying at his feet,
With deep sigh,his vigil eyes turn around,
All alone -nobody to check,none to greet.
He is hunter, such entry in forest is crime,
Hunting animals is his business,his hobby,
Animal lives pay, for his means of living,
Innocent killing,is business of powerful lobby.
The deer,his female,three siblings lay dead,
Near the pool of blood,he stands with pride,
What foolish deers proved to be-he thinks,
One killed,others calmly stand by the side!
The parents do not run,to save their children,
All what they do,is to stand, calmly to look at-
With futile hope to see their children breathe,
And for not running away, easy death they get.
The fifth,an innocent one,touches the killer gun,
Tries to jump, lick the hunter with little tongue,
Blinking eyes,seeing rainbow colours, all around,
Shaking ears,listen to the song,mother nature sung.
The new born just try to know meaning of life,
Bullet teach him,death is the truth-above all lies,
Dancing colours,singing breeze,his mother's lap,
All vanishes,before the first light,kisses his eyes.
Dawn is slowly knocking at the door of darkness,
There will be no any proof of dead bodies-all five,
Prey will disappear, nature reveal beauty of forest,
By roadside,a signboard will flash-"Save Wildlife".
