Amur Tiger

The great realization
Is giving way to those
Pipelines carrying gas and oil
And the problem grows and grows
The philosophy of existence
For the wild souls of the land
The historicity beckons
Whilst fhe fires of lust are fanned

Its now undeniable
Corporate power it rules
The ways of Mother Nature
Apparently only fools
Even document it
That every wild soul matters
That in this complete equilbrium
Really and honestly it shatters
All the expectations of the activists
Who strive
To help endangered animals
Really to stay alive

Gas lines providing easy access to
Habitats where tigers roam
Helps poachers cut in through
The high snow thick birch forests
Their wild home
And putting at risk the forest
More so than it should be
We are cutting off our nose
To spite our face essentially

There are few around protecting them
Its really deep terrain
Rugged at the best of times
To guard this place insane
Its easy for ones mental state
To be questioned in a way
With access being granted
And with poachers now at play

This cat is just amazing
Very very strong
The colour of its coat and stripes
Well only could belong
On the back of this unique animal
Its vivid colouring sends
ones eyes into an intoxicated state
And then it lends
the true imagination
Away into the light
And its eyes are bold and piercing
Like firery studs at night

It is originality
Magic through and through
Inventiveness personified
So genuine and true
It is the light it brings the light
In an unprecedented way
More superior than anything you would
Come across today

And to think that it gets wasted
By the poaching low life scum
Who work their way to China
It really leaves one nunb
With grief and such emotion
That its bones and skin and tail
Are used for the quack medicines
That surely are going to fail

The russian guards who put their lives
Into the pot and try
To save these wild souls everyday
For otherwise they would die
They are a most endangered cat
Whose dynamism strikes
An intensity into ones heart
Its aggressiveness one likes

Its heady and its blooming
A full blooded soul it be
A traveller of many miles
Who so needs to be free
