** In The Jungle Of Life ** Poem by ANJALI SINHA
** In The Jungle Of Life **
Whilst walking on shank’s mare
With feet naked of shoes of care
I traversed through
jungle of life
Wherein soothes the breeze of happiness
and torments the tornado of strife.
I rested under the leafy tree of love
standing at friendship’s gates.
I watered the plant shriveled
by the scorching sunbeams of hate
Therein I met the ravenous wolves
Who plots and savors your fall,
And the cunning foxes who
whispers the deceiving calls.
I saw the lions of terror
reveling in the pool of blood,
I saw the doves of peace
helping the sorrow hit birds.
I chanced upon the angels
with the eyes akin to doe,
And wondered at the earthlings
bereft of ill wishers and foes.
Whilst plucking the flower of love
I was hurt by the thorns of hate
While drinking the water of life
I was dragged by the currents of fate.
Now I know
Be friend or foe,
all play the God given part
With whom we meet
fight, love and depart.

lovely imagery, life is indeed full of different types of people, like the jungle and it's variety still, some people are ok, but beware, and get to know them, in case they are 'mad, bad and dangerous to know! '
