The Eye of the Tiger

By Kali Ma

In the depths of the jungle
In the deep dark greens
Where movement should go unseen
And the creatures of night prawl.

Here you are always aware
of the unseen eyes
in their foliage disguise
staring unblinking and merciless at you.

You move through the crowds
Of those inhabitants of the wild
but not even the tiniest child
is safe from the cold distant eye.

And as your form retreats slowly
Through the concrete seas
of our modern day trees
The unblinking eye of the camera follows you...
