Zebra

Zebras 
are bestowed
Black-n-white 
striped coats 
by Nature
to help them
confuse predators 
keep horse flies away 
But, it also makes them
more vulnerable
most recognisable 
mammal even
from long distance !

Humans 
are not bestowed
with unique identity 
which can stand out 
Humans have to earn
their own Stripes of
Character, Values, 
Integrity, Sincerity
to be recognisable 
irrespective of distance

Humans 
have picked up idea 
of Zebra Crossing 
from dazzling distinctive
stripes of Zebra 
to create safe 
crossing of roads
and avert accidents

Humans 
have not given 
anything befitting
to Zebras in return
Humans have 
put them in zoo
hunted them down
for exotic trophies ! 

Height of Irony 
Zebra, wild animal 
gives life saving idea
Human, tame animal
acts worst than animal 
confines, kills Zebras
