Python Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

A python was caught and tied with the rope
Dragged to the village paddy field with claps
The gentleman who caught hold of the python
Was a retired officer in armed constabulary
He was so brave, decisive and owns a fire arm
The village people feared and respected
The women, children, and men assembled the field
To see the trophy that brought by the gentleman
The poor python, in its captivity I felt
Stories of catching the prey by the python in detail
Told by the elders and the gentleman alike
The glory of catching the python was great
That credit goes to the gentleman who saved us all
He asked the people to decide the fate
Of the python in safe captivity of the people
Someone told to stab and kill the creature
Another suggested to shoot and kill the python
None asked to set the snake free in forest
Except myself which the proposal rejected by all
At last I heard a gunshot in the end
And the saw the movements on pain by the snake
Slowly the movements stopped and it died
That I cannot forget the episode throughout my life
Changes in the rules came there after
Where killing wild animals by people restricted
except for self protection and abiding the norms
Now pythons are rescued to the wild forests
And no more to fear the gunshots in captivity
The world is so beautiful and life so precious
Even for an ant supposed to finish the term
Let they live fearless and in peace
subject to our own safety and peace is ensured
