The Difference

Once a tiger Bored of the jungle life Entered into the city’s strife But found no new spice He saw a great confusion In each of the direction Unable to understand Why the grass here So black And trees so strange Without leaves With colourful range In which instead of birds Live so many men He was still more bothered Rushed to find A quite place for rest Left behind the chasing And terrifying crowd Happened to enter Into a circus grand Got strange but intimate smell After a little search He got to the tiger cage Surprised he asked them Why they were like the bondage So thin, so weak So gloomy, so meek Look at me So powerful, so strong So healthy, so long They said weepingly Man has made us like him Away from Nature Our lovingly mother Captivated under circumstances Working at other’s will Why did you dare To come here Here lives man You don’t know what he can Do to serve his selfish end Just return to the jungle Your natural room To avoid such dreadful doom They are after you And if they found a clue You are sure to glue To the greedy hand
