The Safety. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Wild fire, in forests
Swallowing the shrubs,
The vast forests
The small and big trees.

Wild forests fearful animals
Running here and there
As fast they can
For a convenient shade or coverage
Life is precious to all.

Anthills, squirrels, snakes
Rabbits, mouses, and other species
Running for a safe shelter
Pathetic life situation
They faces the sudden death
That too in a wild fire!

Somewhere there in a tree
There lived a bird family
The father, mother, and children
Happiest were they, a contented life.

Seeing the fire the mother exclaimed
The danger of death is imminent
Asked the father bird to escape
Flee from the nest to a safest place.

We are three and destined to die
You are a male and youth in your age
You can have a better life somewhere
Go and live in such happiness
Escape from the death my dear she asked.

The children told both the parents
We are too young, life not seen
Ready to die in fire but both of you may go
In a safer place and have another life
At least remember in your happiness.

At last the male bird flew for safety
The mother bird and children prayed to god
At least save these child birds from fire
The god of fire listened the prays
And commanded to avoid the destruction
Of the tree that nested the bird family.

In fact heart burned prayers always makes results
The helpless gets helps the story says.
