Man Caged Himself In Zoo! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Man Caged Himself In Zoo!
Was it a fate or
It's his last journey
That his ill fated wish of just visiting a zoo ended so cruelly!
For getting the better view of caged tiger of six feet long
He leapt forward the fence and he slipped
And fell down directly in front of tiger
Who was waiting for its feast.
Surprisingly, the tiger didn't kill him immediately.
People started screaming.
Hurling stones at tiger to divert the attention.
For fifteen minutes the poor chap pleaded,
The tiger to leave him.
But tiger was tempted by the fresh blood and flesh.
It went on hitting lad for fifteen minutes.
Finally tiger overpowered and
Took him far away.
No rescue team arrived and,
Finally two hours later,
Tiger was seen nowhere.
His body was sent for postmortem!
Cruel was his ending.
A unique was his death!
That he fell as prey in front of tiger.
How much pain and plight,
He would have suffered,
For those fifteen when he was alive, right in front of big tiger!
I feel pity for the young boy
Who was destined to die in a cruel way
Time called him to the zoo
Situation slipped him inside the zoo
Finally landed him right in front of monster
Which he had never dreamt of seeing it from near!
Was it a call of a fate or his destiny!
I can just pray....May his soul Rest In Peace!

Surprisingly, the tiger didn't kill him immediately Time called him to the zoo I love this poet for a good poem as a deepawali gift
It is such a heart wrenching incident! Think of the plight of his parents.... can they ever recover from that shock? Each time that terrible scene will be flashed before their eyes! The boy's suffering is over, though the fifteen minutes he saw death face to face were freezing! Even now, it makes me so upset! It is there in youtube! But I refused to see it! A moving write Geetha! We do not know if it is just an accident or part of a pre determined fate!
Time called him to the zoo Situation slipped him inside the zoo......nowadays taking selfies in an irrational way turned to be a trend and he is one among those victims..................nicely composed
Death of Maqsood whose soul flew from the cage at Delhi Zoo by caged tiger...coordinates of Death 'tween Time and Place is fixed..fate dragged him yonder at zoo thus he died thank you
Compassion and feelings of the heart are conveyed with great depth. What happened should not have happened. Hope we learn from this and will not let such incident happen again. Thank you.
Entire episode brought sadness. It was a sad reflection on the working of zoo in Delhi too where no rescue team was visible. The tiger stared the poor chap for 10 minutes and did nothing. Those 10 minutes could have been life saving had the rescuers been there. However, the poem touches the heart more so when the man could have been save. Thanks for sharing. Rated 9
