The Animal State

No earthquake, no thunder, no volcanic eruption Or even there was no any of natural calamities, A sudden loud sound broke out all through the bush With whizzing, shuddering, cracking, tearing, echoing, Fear, horror, dark, terror, misery and ill spirits spread Committing destruction, death in a horrible situation, Dust, dirt, smoke coiled over the whole atmosphere The harmless animals are quite perplexed, helpless They began crying, shouting, running, rushing, fainting Seeing reddish spots and innumerable torn bodies, They blamed one another for committing the crime, Brawling, harming, plotting hardened in them A long conflict complicated and awful tangled, Loosing the worms of crime, injustice and corruption, The virtues sunk and the vices rose everywhere Envious state of barbarism, terrorism inflicted on them The poor animals lost peace and principles they had Centuries curse engulfed all what was out of thought, Ferocious animals are in the neighbouring big forest They always wait for chances on the helpless ones, They do not care for hesitating in violating terms Committing all sorts of hyenas and monstrous harms, They know how and when to cook poisonous broth And how to throw an unseen net to catch the rest, Once some cats were quarrelling nearby the bush Some wild dogs of the big forest made an instant rush, For repeated barking mewing was beyond of hearing Foxes and monkeys also joined within a quick haste Crows, kites and vultures started crowing for the feast What more, rats and mice left the bush being frightened Dreadful tumult, commotion, collision, conflict took place At the arrival of buffalos, deer, bears, wolfs and hyenas, But with the unexpected appearance of lions and tigers All the surroundings became instant silent and isolated All went away murmuring without a single looking back, The victorious were excited having got all easy victory But they found troubles to enjoy the whole empire lonely So there were roaring, shouting, blustering, threatening Of occupying empire, power, lordship and over lordship ‘Might is right’ established in the ruleless bestial state.
