Tiger Tiger
\nout of sight
\nin the Sunderbans
\nin the dead of night
\nin dense networks
\nof Mangroves they
\nswim with Bull Sharks
\nso some say
\nand Crocodiles
\nthey have little fear
\nfor salty water it is clear
\nmakes them aggressive
\nand thus man
\nis up against it
\nYes it began
\na while back
\nafter Cyclones struck
\ndestroying swamp land
\nthats when luck
\nwould have it
\npopulations were
\nbrought closer
\nto the Tigers purr<\/p>\n

Fishermen and honey hunters
\nin their wooden boats
\nhave found
\nTigers attacking from behind
\nand rapidly they’re drowned
\nyears before some cyclone victims
\nwashed away, were eaten by
\nthe Tigers scavenging on the corpses
\nand enjoying the taste
\nwhich might be why<\/p>\n

50 or 60 souls are taken
\nevery year around these parts
\nhabitat loss is causing conflict
\nand a lot of broken hearts
\nit is a really beautiful forest
\ndensely populated by
\nungulates and of course some humans
\nin consequence some of them die
\nHabitat loss is a major factor
\nlogging out activity
\ncyclone Sidr did grave damage
\nas a consequence adversity
\nrevenge killings, of the Tigers
\nby the people who realise
\ntheir livestock brings the tiger closer
\nit really comes as no surprise
\nnow the government helps with losses
\nby helping the villagers to donate
\nlivestock for these precious tigers
\nand this has cut the killing rate.<\/p>\n

in all the places Tigers wander
\nsome 3000 or so be
\nliving wild in eastern climates
\nroaming quietly far and free
\nman’s advancement though is telling
\nobviously the tiger clan
\nare feeling pressure from the closeness
\nand danger from the might of man<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
