Sardula Javan Leopard

Hot and wet as heaven pion
Rainfall scattered warm clarion, dropped some their leaves
Referred to evergreen rainforest

Girl starred being black, smiled for dark spots with silver-grey eyes
Kingdom animalia said: “Where is our crown?”
Heavy logging answered

Tilar wana memereng tepining tegil
Sardula, death.....

Bull coexist without competitive
No sanctuary in poverty
Human driven doomsday
Panthera pardus melas and the girl cried

Away from riverbanks, swamps and clearings
Where is Hillsides, mountains, mesas, and sunlight penetration?

Say sorry to piphytic plants 
No attached anymore to trunks and branches, trees felt down
 
Suck to obtain rainwater
Fallen trees create scary gaps
Said goodbye to Pleistocene refugia
The rest only empty liturgia 

Tilar wana memereng tepining tegil
Sardula, death....

Melanistic leopards coaxed black panthers
The guardian solitary and territorial lover
Sang a love songs and passed away
Growls, snarls, meows and purrs

From dusk till dawn, defending territories from intruder clown
Farmlands weighing hundreds of kilograms bombs

Away from riverbanks, swamps and clearings
Where is hillsides, mountains, mesas, and sunlight penetration?

Tilar wana memereng tepining tegil
Sardula, death......
