Save the Tiger

Save the glory,save the pride, Save India 's Tigers, save the indigenous wild. Save the unearthly beauty, save the exquisite roar. Save the Royals by the Sunderbans' shore. Save those vibrant deep eyes which have seen it all, From the Zebra, the Giraffe to the Monkey who had the greatest fall. Save the paws which have pounced so hard, On the Cheetah, the Bear, all smashed like cards. Save the stripped skin that glittered in the Sun, Save it from being perforated by the deadly gun. Save Your Majesty as he pleads for forgiveness, For crimes that were not his business. Save the emperor of the Jungle, The law of nature - let us not bungle. From 'endangered' to 'extinct' - it won't take much time, All that would be left then would be a few activists' cries and whines. Save the mankind from this great fall! Ponder, whether your entertainment is worth it all?

A tiger is a very beautiful, unique animal. It is our duty to protect creations that we can't create with our hands... Congrats Ananya, for having your piece featured in the Poetry Soup homepage!!! ;-)

Ananya,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
