Sumatran Tigers
Sumatran Tigers are listed as, critically endangered
They are found in Asia, only on the island of Sumatra
and are the smallest sub-species, existing well before Cleopatra
with their colorful amenities, and their traditional accessories
These Tigers live with, Elephants, Rhinos and Orangutans
and their habitat is, forests grasslands and wetlands
Tigers are well known, as the “King of the Jungle”
and we should not be the ones, to make them humble
Their habitat destruction, force tigers into human corridors
but this will only predict, a desperate battle of human conflict
Sumatran Tigers have killed, livestock and the human invaders
but this is their home, that is not for, the human need of greed
Accelerating deforestation development, and rampant poaching
is destroying their evolution, and now their historic life is pending
This human timber harvesting and defragmenting, is out of control
destroying the ecological environment, and taking down their soul
