The Tiger

Yatin Thota 2008 (Hyderabad)

Hiding in the shadows,
He lurks onto prey
He'll only pounce into meadows,
When he isn't faraway

He is a silent killer
His fur, a golden yellow
His tail is as long as a pillar
And no! His roar ain't mellow

He can't be matched in stealth
So, beware him in the grass
Don't kill him for your wealth
Help spread this message to the mass
