He tamed the King Tiger 

He planned and plotted 

His calendar marked & dotted

Strategized to tame the tiger

Being a mere cub…

Yet he succeeded !

The King who had learnt 

To sleep with his eyes open 

Had trusted the entire cub club

And allowed it all to happen 

He was losing an un-fought battle

And got tamed like some cattle 🐄

Meanwhile the cub gained energy 

With enthusiasm and synergy 

On an ego trip he proceeded 

He thought he had succeeded 

Realizing not his fallacy 

It was anyway his legacy 

But he was in a rush

Smitten by his femme crush

Manipulating viscous moves

Creating pitfalls and grooves

Draining away the Tiger

Of his strength and determination 

For he wished his elder’s termination 

Unbeknownst of his own protection 

Under the Tiger’s rule & legislation 

He earned a bigger territory

He earned a half hearted legacy 

Along with Mama Tiger’s hurt feelings 

She was a mate as equal as a mother 

Her ways were justified 

But he never realized 

He tamed the Tiger

And took over his rule

Disgracing his upbringing 

For he had turned selfish 

As he grew up to be a young male

His mind churned victory …

In seeing others fail

His mother bereaved and silenced

Sibling cubs helpless and pained

Mama Tiger could read his mind

Watching the game of power

Her young one wanted to be a tower

Not waiting to strengthen his roots

Targeting to amass loots 

Alas! He missed the blessed fruits

That were his own destiny 

He shall grow up to be a ruler Tiger🐅 

As the one whom he had hurt
