Terror Of The Forest! Poem by Naga Vamshidhar Ratakonda

Royal Highness Sheen,
Of It Never Ever Lost,
Before the King of Forest;

With Coloured Stripes,
And Valour of Strides,
It is the Earth's Fastest;

With Smooth Shiny Skin,
If Not Mane of Prestige,
It is still the Terror of Forest;

It's Skin Was for Penance,
Head Hung in Warrior Homes,
Jaws & Claws for Weaponary;

Itself the Wild Wide Threat,
Couldn't Escape the Greed,
Of Poaching & Trafficking;

Tigers, Panthers, Leopards,
Of The Majestic Cat Class,
In a Pity Poor Cage Clause;

World of Wild Life No Wild,
Without a Tiger & Tigress,
Dating Together on a Hunt;

Zoos & Reserve Forests,
Tricky Little Safety Steps,
No Smuggling Stoppage;

No Where to Run Wild,
No Thick Wild to Hide Safe,
Jungles in Shambles;

Few Thousand Just Left,
Facing Extinction Crisis,
Their Survival In Our Hands!
