The humble features of a tiger should never be taken for granted. The nature’s meticulous craft of this stunning beauty is what lures people towards it. Covered in stripes and filled with its silent, gracious and tender moves, who would believe or acknowledge its might; strength and ferocious rage which sparkles in its eyes that we fail to notice?
But then it strikes! Yes; and it strikes with its mighty power! ROAR! Hear its rage and its strength! Sharp canines then tears apart the flesh and eats like a hungry beast. Who would have thought nature’s beauty would strike with huge force? Upon whose memory would have it stroke that the beauty would turn into a ferocious beast of mighty power hidden underneath its tender paws and mouth?
Now it occurs, underneath a beauty hides a beast that is patiently waiting to strike when the right time comes. Mesmerized by the beauty, the beast within easily surpasses the beholder’s eyes which sparkles brilliantly upon its gracious presence resembling a fairy!
The wait is over! Patience after all paid off. Then the fairy strikes. the fairy upon which we had looked with amusement changes its presumptuous existence turns to demon. Only then do we realize that what had amused us before had stroke without knowing that it had injected a slow poison stiffening our thoughts! Only then do we acknowledge that our eyes lie and everything we see and appreciate are overwhelming disillusions which we fail to realize until now!
Uproars of havoc is thus heard. Chaos starts. Screams of betrayal, agony and cries of help is heard. But alas! Help never comes. Prayers are never heard. The countless doors knocked for shelter never opens. Heaven turns into hell. The earth turns topsy-turvy.
And now that the cries have ended with every person’s last breath, the fairy then steps on the earth with her gracious presence, mesmerizing charm. She then pities human eyes of disillusion that for the last time stare not to her but to the far horizon of heavenly shelter that never sheltered its creations…
