A Save Tiger Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The sun was about to set in west
The birds were returning to their nest
The indication was given with big siren
The lion gave last roar and looked at den

It was high time for find a kill at night
It was appropriate time and very right
The wolf laughed at very sarcastically
The lion was not handicapped physically

It is gorgeous living like king style
Everybody should know that he ruled for a while
It makes no difference for him to strike
The hunt is over and is much to his like

Have you ever seen them walking free?
Or watched under the shed of the tree?
It is altogether elegant way of different living
One has to think afresh and start believing

They are fast disappearing now
No one know where to find safe place and how?
They are killed for silly reason and indiscriminately
Some concrete steps are required immediately

They are must for ecological balance
They were seen in abundance at once
Now they heave become really extinct
It has become rare chance to witness their acts

The nature has proved very cruel
The forests are burnt with fuel
Their hide outs are exposed to all
There is considerable decrease in number and fall

They have never threatened civil population
Nature and environment proved healthy relation
They were left to their fields without interference
They never attacked even though looked hostile in appearance

We watch them disappear helplessly
They are subjected to torture excessively
They are killed merely for hobby or passion
We need to look at them with love and compassion


There is awareness campaign on large scale
Same is case with sea whales
Both are out to be destroyed in no time
It is definitely a condemnable act and crime

We have save tiger project
It is urgency of time and we can’t reject
It requires proper planning and action very prompt
Time and again it should not prove that we have failed in attempt

Hardly few habits can be traced world over
The new hide outs are searched for cover
Many can be still saved if shown little mercy
India is gifted with many of such species

Let it be global mission and objective
We should be very much careful and selective
It is disintegration of rare animal
They can’t be augmented with new arrival
