High Expectations
The lush green forests
Mighty pachyderms lived in serenity
Now fields rich with grain
Where do we expect the elephant to go?
The lush green undergrowth
Beautiful leopard in harmony survived
Now black glass high rise stands
Where do we expect the leopard to go?
The lush and thick jungle
The prime habitat of the tiger
Now villages overgrown with people
Where do we expect the tiger to go?
The elephant raided homes
The leopard took the child
The tiger attacked the man
Are our expectations met?
These shy beautiful creatures
Looking for a way to live
Labelled as dangerous beasts
Are our expectations too high?
