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......
