Sense Sonnet - Acher

Subtracting Tiger

In India the tiger be
Of varied sense by humankind.
For some it is a deity.
For some, to kill is first of mind.
The human powers that be gave
The tiger a sort of reprieve,
From total extinction to save.
But for how long - who can believe?
In forests where the tigers roam
Some humans also want to live.
As time goes by, their place of home
Will get too crowded - who will give?

The numbers are not hard to guess.
Humans be more, tigers be less.
