Little Tiggy..

A poem written long time ago...!
For  "Save Tigers" moment..!

The first time I could realize this big cat's existence and its enormous size was in Banerghatta a few years back. Campaigns of anti poaching and save tigers are spread all across the country. I had penned down a small poem in my boredom days a few years back...after that safari trip to Banerghatta  Zoo (or as we say Banerghatta National Park) (where I felt the tigers were enjoying their safety and were lazying around, ignorant about the fact that their species needs an immediate attention before they enter a bottle neck like the lions of Ngorongoro.)

The poem goes like this..

Along the river side,
Is the bank
Next to it is a forest
And that's where the lonesome tiggy 
Is waiting for his mommy...


Alas, she didn't turn up,
Tiggy cried,
Didn't know his mommy 
Is lying in rest..!


A shade of blood on the stomach,
A soar on the neck!
And she lay there dead..
The hunters enjoyed the bitter trade..!!


Tiggy now hates man,
As they are the enemy of his clan..!

Apparently Aircel has a very similar ad for the Save Tiger Ad Campaign..!
The concept of that advertisement is heart rendering and so touching, I felt like adopting a tiger-cub right away..!
