Tigress In the Kitchen
The tigress lives in the green jungle
well secured for her biological kids
extended family members too live
but once in kitchen worries emerge
Selectively she serves delicious meals
to only those that are exactly tigers
those on the other side of thorny fence
tigress dishes out misery in dirty plates
In the kitchen one can hear her utter;
“Go away, you hiss like snake, no food.
This one laughs like ugly hyena, quit.
Disappear. Those spots are of leopard.”
Without any challenger to her injustice
the tigress starves and stabs her kids
the favored glorify, laud her and enjoy
to unfortunates she wants carcass mats
But tigress in her dreamy cynical mind
does not know that fighting the innocent
walking along tight narrow ropes of envy
creates airspace for the unjust to resurrect
