A man when wants to kill
A tiger, it's for thrill,
Thinks, he's playing a game—
Game, whatso be the name,
Sports for him and pass-time,
And never once a crime,
An act deemed courageous.
But when a tiger wants to kill
A man, poor beast, is ferocious,
And a man-eater turned,
That be captured, or gunned.
One thing, two ways to deal,
Tiger, tiger, feel no ill!

This is really a brilliant poem in your pen on Tiiger on International Tigers Day. You have captured the theme well as this one talks about man's double standards. Thank you dear sir for sharing this gem.10
Thanks you agree with 'double standards. You're absolutely right, dear KM.
