Tabby has turned into a tiger
He will no longer remain docile
For there is no use in being sober
When the atmosphere is hostile
All is not well
Tabby has a story to tell
There are fumes of hate in the air
He could not hide his anger
And has turned into a tiger
Tabby has moved into the forest
Because he has been bitten
By animals he considered dearest
But he is no longer a kitten
They have created a wound so deep
It caused Tabby to weep
Making him move into the jungle
Because his feelings would no longer be hidden
He will consider the domestic land forbidden
The Tabby they knew
Has become wild
Hiding steadily amongst the yew
Sending a strong message to every parent and child
Tabby has turned into a tiger
He wishes to remain in the jungle forever
No longer at ease
No longer taking in fire
No longer doing what they require
Tabby has turned into a tiger
He is no longer open
For he cannot hide his anger
And has become outspoken
Tabby has turned into a tiger
He has now changed
Because he was estranged
Tabby has turned into a tiger
Do not be amazed at his actions
For treatments elicit reactions
Tabby has turned into a tiger
He will no longer hide his anger
And will remain in the jungle forever.

A well articulated piece of poetry insightfully penned with conviction in poetic diction. A lovely narrative poem that depicts the unfolding of one who has decided that enough is enough. I like the rhyme scheme of the piece. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
