Ten tigers shot down in Sariska within two years!<br />

But, the area is assumed to be<br />

Not poacher infested.<br />

While here,<br />

Outside the jungle reside lawful hunters,<br />

Wielding their authority to exploit.<br />

See the plight<br />

Day and night<br />

In lakhs and thousands<br />

These children…. devoured by poverty…….<br />

Living on leftovers.<br />

My lord,<br />

Riding in phaetons,<br />

Let fall your benign gaze<br />

Upon these children too!<br />

Innumerable innocents…the malcontents, glued to poverty<br />

Enter the world <strong>of</strong> crime,<br />

Sinking into vice, deeper and yet deeper<br />

With<br />

Poverty nimbly perverting their souls<br />

Degenerating into urchins<br />

Are they not too,<br />

The heritage <strong>of</strong> the jungle<br />

Whose past is bruised….wounded?<br />

And the present?<br />

Clothed in nakedness<br />

Don’t they too deserve<br />

Your benevolent justice?<br />

For them too,<br />

Should we not set up<br />

Some Jeeve-Daya society taskforce?<br />

Providing them right to education<br />

And<br />

Food for survival?<br />
