An Embarassing Refuge!

'An Embarassing Refuge'!

I am a Tigress and this is my tragic story: 'An Embarrassing Refuge'!

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"I happened to be the proud ruler of the jungles by being the 'Queen of masquerade'; that kingdom once was in a Natural Habitat—a 'Shady Sylvan Glade'... 

Then came the contender—you humans—needing to mark their respective range of influence, but for that to happen, every former belief was to be rearranged; sparring the 'biased rules' of the game, you see, every other thing was to be changed... 

Wonder what ensued???

...a state of conflict was reached, when the 'best of both the worlds' have met; sadly 'two swords' couldn't be contained, in a single humble sheath... 

...in clash of our Egos, your 'Gunpowder' overwhelmed the power of my 'Claws'; I withdrew from that 'battle of attrition', you see, long before it was declared a 'draw'... 

You see, the health & diversity of an ecosystem was once by virtue of my pivotal role; I used to be the 'Top-Predator' of the jungle and in turn I  had nurtured its (jungle's) very soul... But! 

...but, such 'Stories' have been told earlier, & seldom they were heard; regardless of the reasonableness such causes remained absurd...Alas!!! 

As vivid a symbol of 'strength with beauty' I was, while being a 'Majestic Creature', as ruthlessly I was purged to the verge of extinction, you see, by first being tagged as endangered... 

As much I was revered as I should be, in many and varried cultures; sooner the 'signs of my existence', ironically, happened to have gotten blurred... 

...In the end, it doesn't matter much as to who has lost and who reigned supreme; it is clear as day, now, as to who holds the reins of my sustainable existence and 'to be restored—Self Esteem'. 

I could only hope now that your souls are timely stirred; justified would be this 'embarrassing refuge' I had to take behind 'Praveen Katiyar's Words'!!!"
