Self Immolation Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

Self Immolation



SELF IMMOLATION
Be never quick to judge impact of any event.
It might be reverse of, that you want to prevent.
Self immolation executed to restore humanity
Might turn itself, an undeniable cause of insanity.

A pitiful offering of own flesh to starving tigress
To inhibit her from devouring her cubs in distress.
Indeed altruistic deed, enough anyone to impress.
But your perspective might change,
Along with cruelty of grown up cubs progress.

Imagine how horrible ultimate consequence will be!
When sacrifice turns, cause of
Misfortune of rest of innocent wild creatures, you see.
Why did Almighty create Tiger with Lamb? Tell me.
Untold and unanswered question always pinch me.

Did herbivorous turned carnivorous during evolution
Or
Killing is inevitable to ensure balance in ecological motion
Mistery might be hidden in cause and effect of creation.
We all really need critical analysis of our devotion.
