Why They Fight? Dying Vegetarian World Homey>My fully
feathered female lovebird Krishna
Went out of
home with male partner Dhruva
Cutting window
net with their beak in the rear
As I was
mowing lawn in the height of the summer!
Soon it became
dusk; night came even faster!
Disappointed
without knowing their whereabouts
I went around
neighbor’s lawn and yards
Calling their
names and hoping they are safe under cover!
Morning came
ending my nightmare!
I started
searching in nearby woods and graveyard!
An elderly
woman stopped by curious of my search effort
Told me, ‘Son be careful, predators are everywhere’!
When her
niece’s cat was missing in the middle of the night
She searched the
neighborhood with torchlight
Only to find
her dearest loving pussy cat
Hanging from
the mouth of a cougar, bigger cat!
I asked her,
what’s for dinner?
She replied,
‘Steak and ribs, cabbage sweet and sour’!
I asked again
what is for your dog?
She replied,
‘Tender chicken legs and pork chops’.
I asked,
finally, what her niece’s cat had for dinner?
She answered with
worrisome smile, ‘Chunky beef and tuna’!
I reminded her
as we bade good bye –
Must be careful
of some predators in disguise
Feasting on
million pounds of Afghan-Iraqi flesh!
She wondered,
“Aren’t they killing insurgents?”!
