A Lion In A Zoo Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Lion In A Zoo

Rating: 5.0


He cannot entertain the visitors of the zoo
His roar is a warning and a frightening shoo
Like monkeys he cannot entertain the humans
Though he's not having very good relations
Still when behind the bars he's the first choice
His graceful face, his majesty and his voice
I read his heart through his helpless wet eyes
His words when he raises the head towards the skies
"Please open the gates I shall not make any harms
I'll entertain you, hidden in me are monkey's charms.
I shall run wildly to my kingdom of forests
Where in a cave my lonely lioness sadly rests

Please open the gates I shall not make any harms I'll entertain you, hidden in me are monkey's charms. I shall run wildly to my kingdom of forests Where in a cave my lonely lioness sadly rests..........well expression with nice theme. Beautiful poem shared.

A very touching poem, we take away the freedom of creatures and yet claim to be civilized. A heart-rending plea for freedom written from a heart full of compassion. Thank you sir.
