ANIMAL KINGDOM (31) SAVE WILDLIFE

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".

ANIMAL KINGDOM (12) Who Is This HE

 ANIMAL KINGDOM (12) Who  Is This HE ?
 ******************************************
Animals were filled with grief and sorrow,
They all were weeping and crying,
To show their love to departed king,
In their own way,they were trying.

The old lion-king had passed-away,
Condolence meeting started in the forest,
Clever jackal was most favorite to king,
In king's lobby,he was nearest-the best.

Jackal wept, and wept, and told the mass ,
How dutiful and faithful he was,
How he tried to give-up his life,
How he was devoted to lion's cause.

Jackal's wife was among the crowd,
Full of  emotions,she was very sad,
For her,her husband was so nice,
Who worshiped the dead,like his dad.

After the meeting,jackal came home,
Wife, praised for his loyalty to the king,
"All courtiers loved and praised the soul,
But you were the foremost in the ring".

"Our lion- king was the great ruler,
All animals were weeping for him,
He will always shine as bright star,
His fame and glory will never be dim."

Jackal paid no attention to her,
He was thinking about the next king-
'-Who would be the next king,
How he will enter his inner-wing.'

'How to manage with all efforts,
How to help the NEW;:hunting animals,
How to praise, every morn and evening,
And flatter new lioness, at intervals.

Kings die but their tail remains,
Jackals jump from one to next,
Their hanging tail is way to success,
Let the dead king, lie in rest.

His wife was talking, and talking non-stop-
"The late king ruled from north to south,
He was noble, he was gentle,he was kind--"
Jackal put his palm on the wife's mouth.

Flash of shrewd smile came on jackal's face,
Then turned innocent,he said,bent on knee,
"--He--he--he--you are reciting my dear,
I don't know, who is this damn HE."
