Tiger


From the darkness comes a sound.
A heavy footstep on the ground.
The Earth it shakes and twigs are heard to break
And all the animals quickly run away.


From the shadows there comes a growl,
From a beast so deadly foul.
It moves so slowly as it prowls,
In search of something to ****; its face a picture of scowl.


Within the trees it is camouflaged.
It blends into the background
And from the jungle there comes an “arggh!”
A man to death is eternally bound.


The claws that rip and tear at skin,
Before the teeth sink deeply in,
To such soft flesh; the touch of death
And at the end there is little left,
To ever say man stood at this point.
The bones skinned bare of muscle on joints.
All that remains is the sleeping tiger, next to a pool of blood.
He is the lone survivor, for this is his neighbourhood.


Later as the tiger leaves,
The remains remain hidden behind the trees
And all that was, is no more.
All that is left are the prints of the paws,
That lead away through leaves of green.
A broken path is all that is left to be seen.

I crawl all over the ground,
In the middle of the night,
Darkness and prey are both abound,
And I'm hungry tonight.

I've got stripes all over my body,
Everyone runs away at the sight of me,
But you're the only one who stands in front of me,
As if I'm an actual somebody.

I hear you cry,
In the middle of the night,
But I don't care 'cuz I'm hungry tonight,
Don't I care? - Please don't let me try.

We're both hurting,
And we're both crying,
But the fear's still lurking,
And I'm still trying.

Don't let me see you run,
Don't let me hear you scream,
'Cuz the urge inside is strong,
And I promise
The chase will not last long.

I've got stripes all over my body,
I choke myself at the sight of me,
I can't stand myself 'cuz I'm a nobody,
Oh I should just end this misery.

But then you stand in front of me,
Even though I'm hungry tonight.
You don't run away at the sight of me,
Even though I want to eat you alive.

I crawl all over the ground,
In the middle of the night,
Darkness and prey are both abound
And I'm hungry tonight.

Embrace tiger, return to mountain
and get refreshment at a fountain.
In solitude and meditation
doubts are cleared by realisation.

The cares of the world are so many
one can't afford to bring back any;
although they help when called to do so
with what for others they have to know.

As yin and yang play their parts so well
those stories of the old one's do tell.
They're never alone in this struggle
and must also know how to juggle.

Advance and retreat each time they go
to share that knowledge of the Tao.

Tigers were chasing
Then I saw a strawberry
It was delicious
