The hunter that raised a monster
Deep in the forest where various monster beast abode
The hunter dares himself to enter the dangerous zone
To hunt for games that is rich for gains
Under the big Iroko tree lies the little animal
Having a soft and fluffy coat designed with bright colors
A bright orange and white color patterned with black stripes
They call it a tiger
"No it's a cub"
The hunter allured by its beauty
Smiled and have a deal with the forest god
He took the cub to his home and decided to foster it
At first, the cub shares little part of games with it's owner
Gradually the share begin to increase
And a pint of discomfort found a room in the hunter's heart
"Treat an animal like human for thousand years, animal will still be animal"
The cub grows big as the clouds shifts
And soon turn to a tiger
A day came that the hunter couldn't narrate
It was the day of his death
The tiger turned to a monster overnight
At a bright dawn, the sun shines brightly at the hunter's pool of blood
The monster had teared it's owner into pieces
Pieces that wouldn't have a chance to rest in peace.
