Tasmanian Tiger

Extinction?

From the far horizon
Dark clouds rolled
Thunder and lightning
Powerful wind swept
Footsteps of ignorance raged
Cunning, cruel and paranoid
Crawled all around
The mysterious land in heaven
Swallowing innocent Tasmanian tigers
Until the last one vanished
Rain never ever came
Clouds of fury every where
Sounds of footsteps trembling ground
Singing songs of horrifying Tasmanian devils
They are devils and ghosts in their literature
Canvases drawn are bloody red
Shedding blood of the last one left
They feel it is the last
Laughed aloud in triumph
Searching again behind the curtains
The sky was clear for them
Bluish and calm
Where songs of horror was just a past memory
Somewhere portraits of Tasmanian tigers hung
All looking those poor creatures
With prayers for return!

Extinction is in this poem not only of a species but of the past itself. We feel that man and technology is superior to nature and her billions of years of creation. We laugh at what we have accomplished when we should be crying. A sad poem with a meaning hidden in the jungles of ignorance. We eradicated the tribes of this land and their myths as well extinguishing milenia of knowledge and possible keys to understanding man's development, a sad tribute to progress. Well written

It's truly sad when animals become extinct😔😔😔Their essence their being just disappears. What a wonderful poem with awareness of the world. Its true many people also complained about wolfs for the longest time and I believe they were almost extinct also and then everyone paniced. Its a wonderful poem that shows yes these creatures are different they cause havoc but that doesnt mean their not precious.

Thanks Arundass!! 🤗🤗🤗

The Tasmanian tiger becomes a symbol for all the beauty we’ve erased. “Footsteps of ignorance” and “portraits…with prayers for return” hit hard.

I thought of hunting to extinction and felt a great sadness. Your lines are beautifully descriptive Arundass and believe there is a metaphor here in your lines as well. All best wishes.
