# Beware Of Man

# Beware Of Man

********************

Mother duck left her duckling free,

"Go, enjoy, play free, in the lake,

I have taught you all,that I have,

Be alert,Take care,and be safe.

Whenever you touch the land-

Four-footed animals are there,

These animals kill and eat us-

Then, run and escape, don't dare."

Duckling floated and,jumped,

Came near shore, under the sky,

Listened to His own voice,

Enjoying echo of His own cry.

Near the shore of the vast lake,

A man pointed, and fired his gun,

Duckling just escaped and cried,

Ran madly for life, forgot all fun.

Later,He told his beloved mother-

"He was lovable, two-footed, like us,

But he was most dangerous creature,

I was just dead Mom,I was so nervous !

Four-footed animals kill only for hunger,

This brutal  animal-animal-I can't blame,

O!What a cruel, dangerous creature he was,

Was he the devil,playing butcher's game?"

 ANIMAL KINGDOM (27)  In One Life
***********************************

          
 




  




She was shocked to see the scene, 
All her dreams scattered in a moment, 
She could not balance herself in air,
And fell down below,on top of a tent.

Thunderous noises were echoing all over,
Machines were digging, leveling the land,
HER tree,her own tree,her home, laid dead,
The female pigeon's vision,lost in the sand.

A piece of fruit,from her beak,fell down,
Her nest,her siblings-nothing,only dust,
Many homeless birds were flying in sky,
Death was chasing,struggle was the must.

Mother pigeon tried to call her children,,
But her futile efforts could only rebound,
Men,machines,and the space filled with-
Deafening and crushing  ocean of sound.

She spread her wings;fluttered,flew in sky,
Looked down,everything,-all,she had lost,
This was not the first tragic event of life,
But was next of  calamities,running so fast.

Storms had destroyed her nest many times,
Snakes had often eaten her eggs in the past,
Rain,flood had washed away, her small nest,
Her life partner had gone for food: was lost.

She flew and flew, in lap of mother nature,
No any choice,but only to exist, to survive,
Only to chase the next breathe,and to Be,
Except her being,nothing left to deprive.

A Supreme Command whispered in her ears,
"You tiny creature-fly,live,in space,all around,
 You have many,many,struggling lives, in one life,
Death is only once, life is limitless,unbound."

ANIMAL KINGDOM (21) An Unknown Signature

ANIMAL KINGDOM (21) An Unknown Signature
******************************************




  The female pigeon pushed her infant-    
"Yes--now jump--bravo--you can fly",
Seeing the ground from top of tree,
The little terrified squib just tried to cry.  

Mother put her paw on squib's head,
"My beloved son, fly-high, high-swing, 
We little creatures survive against odds,
 Creator has blessed us divine wings.''

The mother gave a blow, threw her son,
Desperate, little squib, dipped in space,
He struggled and looked at the ground,
A sure and certain death, he had to face.

At that moment, some miracle happened,
He opened his wings, and fluttered them,
First flight of life, and he kissed the earth,
He jumped proudly- now sky was his tame.

Up-flight, and he touched  his mother,
 Mother pigeon, hugged the little son,
Before she could talk, squib flew again,
Up and down, up and down, it was done.

And then, he flew towards another tree,
 From there, up and up in the open sky,
Sat on the branch of a  far distant one,    
His home, nest, mother-to all- good-bye.

Time passed on-evening, night, morn,
Touching  each other-the shadow of trees, 
Mother sat on seeds to feed his squab,
Spreading wings, to block cold breeze.

The squab is no squab-he is a pigeon,
He may be one among flock of pigeons,
The mother looks up for his home arrival,
Just to embrace, kiss, his son. only once.

He will never come back to his home,         
Mother will one day dissolve in Nature,
She will be soil, air, sky, forest, rain,
In son's heart, she be, unknown signature.

ANIMAL KINGDOM (14) Fly,fly.and----FLY

 ANIMAL KINGDOM (14) Fly, fly,----and FLY
**************************************

She was a beautiful hen,
Little female of pigeon,
Was hatching her egg,
Imagined her dream vision-

-' Little pigeon will come out,
She will feed in his beak,
She will guard him day-night,
New-born will be too weak.

She will teach him to fly,
Up above; in the forest,
Rivers, and mountain peak,
Above trees,earth's chest.'

But destiny played it's role,
A pipe's blow-and nest fell,
To hit the ground from height,
Her heaven dropped into hell .

Her dream- egg was broken,
Nest became a  trash heap,
She was dumb and shocked,
Tried; but she could not weep.

White-washing was going on,
New building shined with proud,
'Heaven's Garden' reflected beauty,
How a dirty nest,there, be allowed ?

She gently touched the wet straw,
Is it so hard to live- to survive?
Human hands are so potent, so cruel?
They may feed,they may deprive?

Fury of mother Nature ends the life,
Eagle targets her from long distance,
Snake tries to trace her innocent eggs,
All around her,death spreads a fence.

She makes the nest with hard labor,
Storm ruins it with vigor,blind force,
One life-one death, balance on beam,
Destiny writes,creature has to endorse.

-Death stretches it's arm in hundred ways,
She took a deep sigh,looked at the sky,
A thin flash of life,called-'the only option,
Death is chasing you ; fly,fly--and FLY.'
