The Forest

It’s funny how sometimes we happen to draw an analogy from the most ubiquitous and minutely useless things that happen around us. I, for example, was watching a housefly trapped in a spider web. Obviously, I did not deliver it because I couldn't be bothered. And when u watch 'Animal Planet' u find predators on the hunt, innocent animals being butchered-just like the fly. So, where is the relevance? What parity did I derive? Unlike the spider I don’t have eight eyes or eight hundred legs and I don’t suck juices out of a fly. But cogitate a bit and we find a crucial match...its the habitat


Wrapped in silence
The forest looks still
Do not be fooled
Life lurks within

Everything that lives in it
Is a predator or a prey
Be the sly agile hunter
And you live another day

Eat or be eaten
The laws are here to stay
Bloodshed isn’t uncommon
A small price to pay

Ravish the warm blood
Success has a sweet taste
No ethics or guilt here
It’s your survival at stake

So sharpen your senses
And live for the day
Have no regrets
Slay or be slayed.

And before u get more baffled
By what I wish to say
Look around,
It’s in the forest we all stay...
