Piranhas Feed.....(Media Feret) Poem by saadat tahir

Lark in Sky that casts on us
spins to the world yarns thus

Songs it sings; music to some
Howling hoarse, dire outcome!

Its freedom feared anathema
Its Rants mostly a miasma

Chased at times by mean sling
Or a chatter of high-tech string

On a way some Innocent blood
Enviably crushed a tender bud

Black the white and the grey
Truth at times a fallen prey

Whittled rays shatter on a prism
Mix an match to bridge a schism

On the heights with a techno leap
A Twerp! A twitter from the sweep

Eagle vulture and the crow
All roles the lark has in stow

In a shady spot a juicy grub
Close an eye to the lion’s cub

Tiger’s nod an a meaty broad
Lowly mongoose tastes the rod

Naked passion; truth expressed
Catch a tear of those distressed

through the forest of bristling reeds
in murky waters the piranha feeds

Lurking lark is the keenest eye
but wings an banks on the sly

Shiny coats of the prowling larks
Gleam an glisten like the shark’s
