Wild [? ] Life Poem by Nafisa SB

We should never molest
The denizens of our forest
Since they have a right
To live in peace too.

The fishes swimming in the lakes
The birds, whose song we hear when we wake
And the animals vertebrate or invertebrate
Do high, in God's eyes, and schemes, do rate.

The dogs, whose faithfulness is edifying
The tiger and lion, who for power, are forever vying
The timid deer and the sure-footed hare
The cunning hyena and the clumsy bear

And many others who fall in this category
Who never have to experience harry or hurry
make a lasting impression on us
Since they share with their mates, implicit trust.

If we are observant, we will see
That we can learn a lesson from them
Since the unity of the herds, and the loving care
Are now, in humans, indeed very rare.
