Before few days
may be the day before yesterday
a lion was killed
and
how its trembling roar
ended in a growl
before he touched his death,
you and I read in the newspaper
is all written by
the hunter

Today
another lion was killed
and story of his tragic death
was again
in the front page of all newspapers

Wait a minute
Somewhere,
I saw the lion’s picture
May be...
No, I am sure
He was on the front page of
the day before yesterday’s newspaper

But he narrated the story

Today's lion was
yesterday’s hunter
To survive in this world, to be successful you have to **** others. If you can not ****, if you can not be a hunter, then be ready for your death...be ready to be a dead lion.  Many people say this
But I don't understand....are we really that miserable ....can’t we live a life in our terms with a smile, without killing others
