Law of The Jungle
Law of The Jungle :
I have heard.
There is a law of the jungle.
I have heard when the lion has eaten his fill…
He never attacks.
He goes to lie under dense shady tree.
And when the rough gusts
Shake branches of tree
The mynah leaving her own young
Covers the final crow’s eggs
With her protective wings.
I have heard.
When any bird-young falls out of the nest…
The entire jungle wakes to rescue.
I have heard.
When the weaver bird’s nest
Reflects on the lake…
The silvery fishes adopt it as neighbours.
And if a rough storm breaks the foot bridge…
The on the wooden plank
Squirrel, snake, goat and cheetah walk in a file.
I have heard
There is a law of the jungle.
O God! All powerful…all seeing…all wise
In this my city…
Proclaim a law
Even the law of the jungle.
