This place where we live has been termed a concrete jungle by all but I have a better name for it. 'The Human Jungle!'
Right from my childhood, I have always come across weird people. They seemed to be normal but that is all...Something was definitely insane about them. 'Devils in Disguise'...in short! Somehow they always displayed strong traits of some or the other animal. I wondered why was I the chosen one to have these clowns in my life and now I understand why? These so called 'saints' have been the inspiration to write this poem which I scribbled during the 1st year of my graduation. Aahh...that was long time ago...but the animals crop up even today!
'Things that make us what we are
are worthy now of mention.
Portraying the being of this fine jungle
will examine my power of creation!'
'There comes the one
Immense and Young.
Proud of his mien and looks.
Lordy king of the jungle,
always ready to jingle.
Noble speech missed his books.'
'Startled by a loud-mouthed chuckle
Gazed a Hyena in an awfully shocking attire.
So unpredictable and annoying it was...
as well as its vexing satire!'
'An abrupt spring of a cat
proved how moody it was!
So careless and lazy...
but never missed to manicure her claws.'
'Leaving behind a trail of ruins.
Leapt an Ape from tree to tree.
His lingo adorning his crown like sequins,
His insane mannerism and rigid attitude
portraying the spirit free.'
'As fate may have it,
I came across a 'Sympathy Sucking Leech.'
Sobbing over its foggy enigma,
cause serenity was beyond its reach.'
'Hissing his way through the foliage,
popped a snake from his hole.
Bestowing a flirty stare...
he climbed up a lanky pole.
And upon spying his prey,
raided through its way...'
'Swiiishhh....came a Tarzan,
swinging on a vine.
To impress our Jane.
displayed virtues fine.
Decency being the foremost,
and humour coming next.
This was the fakest part of the whole text!'
