Tiger

TIGER A wild strain is existent So difficult to control - Exempt nor human nor beast - A part of the lifetime role Call it genes or what you will Fact remains, saint or sinner, All souls have a torrid point A mindless trigger inner Most, by circumstance favored, Seek social success, eager, Stumbling now and then, again, But knowing not the tiger Then some are unfortunate From early age, deep within, Hot lava lay smoking A sad series could begin There are bad parents, bullies A down early use of drugs, Need for borrowing money Lent by mafia or thugs In time we have a jungle Densely tangled up in woe Lava mind starts to rumble Vainly seeks a way to flow Always there are weapons near Our victim begins to growl Reason dead, gun in hand, a Deadly tiger on the prowl

You never cease to amaze me, Daver! "Thugs, mafia, nor human nor beast". Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud would have a heyday with this topic. However, you have pretty well summed up the subject.:) Keep well...Love, Mikki.

Very powerful poem Daver, all that youthful energy and hunger can really cause problems.
