“Wilderness has at once a mysterious beauty and horror entwined within. Human mind also harbours wild urges and benign emotions. When wild urges take precedence, life becomes an untamed jungle” ~ By Poet The jungle sprawls hauntingly scary Where light and shadows together dance. Here the wind howls fiercely Thickets and thistles grow wild Creepers twine around trees. Branches of trees droop in disarray, Blocking the paths and obstructing entry. Under jagged rocks and holes, Snakes crawl and rodents flee. The ominous hoot of owls rent the air. The rocky boulders in dim light look so monstrous. Leopards and tigers roam free looking for prey Their carnivores urge, hidden under their soft paws. From hideouts, raptors and beasts come to the open. Screeching bats keep flying overhead Here in this dark grove, light seldom falls There is a morbid silence, interrupted By howls of predators and screams of the preyed. Is not our world too, a wild untamed jungle Where wolves roam ready to pounce, ready to strike!
