Illogical logic

Illogical logic
P K Routray
So goes a story
from childhood memory.
A tiger was drinking water
upstream of a flowing river
killred and ate a goat that drank water
at downstream of the same river.
The goat polluted tiger’s drinking water
hence was killed, a logic put forth by the tiger.
Burnt are thick forests cut and uprooted are the trees,
Displaced are the animals with noise and pollution as they cannot stay at ease.
Driven out, they were from their dwelling place,
came out, they naturally searching for living and hunting space
To cities, towns and village, they come under compulsion
in search of left out foods from debris, the man has thrown.
Out of fun, cruelty and apprehension man attacks them
when they retaliate, man kills them, for self protection, it they name.
Lost all its cubs an innocent bear during a forest fire
with pain at heart it is searching the cubs with despair and ire.
Naturally gets, it irritated with human fun
might have attacked the men in humiliating action
Failing to respect its emotion and to maintain a safe distance
man killed the nave bear as because it has caused one time disturbance.
Like goat, the bear had no power and guts to reply,
at the feet of the Creator for such illogic, it may only cry.
“Hey Bear! Man is more powerful but is greedy, selfish and cruel,
They forget, logic ethics and justice, they have their own selfish rule.
The whole creation understands you and prays for your soul
but the man does not repent as his survival is onlt his goal.
If you meet the creator in your journey beyond this earth
The plight of all, caused by the man with your misery to Him should be put forth.”
