Restricting Mobility
Tigers, lions, elephants don’t stay
At one place sipping tea, coffee
Beer, wine under a tree, sea shore
But travel miles a day for pleasure
Prey, food, exercise or company
Living different seasons comfortably
Enjoying all the animal rights wildly
Without any restrictions on mobility.
Not born to be put in zoo enclosure
How un-natural to capture & put in
Cage or enclosure wild animals in
Zoo suppressing natural instincts
Hunt and kill a prey metres away
Stressed at not being able to give
A chase and run some distance
Before sitting down to make a meal
Fresh and warm for a royal dinner
To the heart’s satisfaction instead of
Eating pieces of meat thrown at the
King of jungle by a man frightened
At a roar in the jungle miles away
Taste like eating pizza everyday
Left at the door by the delivery boy
Signalling to the customer to pick it.
Natural for the wild not for the city
Set to laws of ecology demographics!
Eating without taste upsets stomach
Affects digestive system miserably.
Caged by the COVID-19 for so long
The human beings have realized the
Misery caused by restricted mobility
On lock down in a cage 14×16 room
Cluttered, congested, furniture filled
Careful walk too restricted to sixteen
Feet long or fourteen feet wide hardly
A substitute for a brisk walk in a park
How can animals enjoy captivity in zoo?
Shrunken space liberty freedom to walk
While man dominates the Trilok or three
Dimensional space we call the Cosmos
The Sky, Earth and Beneath meaning
The dharati, aakaash, paataal in Hindi
Analysing big data about manned flight
The mythological Garuda flying the Lord
On His intergalactic sojourns cruising thr’
Skies congested by man-made birds
Beating the myriad flying birds of earth
Travelling at speed faster than the fastest
Animal on earth like the Cheetah tiger lion
Burrowing excavating drilling underneath
Against laws of Nature and Networks of
Systems, Grids connected with precision
For common use of all species created
But monopolised only by homo sapiens
Inviting intervention of Nature which put
Mobility limit, seek unrestricted mobility!
