Your Majesty

Summary:
...my reverence for Tigers
it’s your majesty   
exuding in prominence   
a story you tell   
   
wizened thru patience   
powerful and purposeful   
your time is at hand   
   
the legend of you   
stalks the memory of man   
etched in his passage   
   
this ode is for you   
sowed in a cheapened reserve   
while the wild roam free   
   
i apologize   
for the zoos and circuses   
and the mockery   
   
as i write this rite   
i know words won’t make this right   
but they’re all i have   
   
it’s your majesty   
that humbles this poet’s soul   
knowing you’re owed more   
   
than a poem

    1. Beautifully penned, Naaj. Loved the message of the write my friend. All cat’s are amazing from domestic to the big cats of which you speak. It is a tragedy corporations want to profit off animals by imprisoning them, and sometimes the animals are treated very poorly. That’s Capitalism for you, they don’t treat people any better. Into the book it belongs! Amazing write. Appreciate you.

      • Def inspired by the pic, I wrote this being so moved spiritually.
        It’s an older vibe but still resonates within

        Thx always for the energy, bro

    2. Cats are my second favorite being on the planet (don’t ask me where humans rate) the first being trees.

      Tigers are majestic, stealthy, powerful, to be revered, which you did. Eloquently, I might add, in true Naaj style.

      Have a fantastic day, Poet.

    3. I am perpetually in awe of nature. The prey they hunt are no joke, either. It takes serious force & power. These animals are mean & resilient. I work in the wilderness, and there’s been a 350-400 lb eastern black bear male stalking lately, I’ve seen him 4 times in the last six weeks, (with mama and cubs sighted significant distance away)….I am desperate to catch a photo but easier said than done lol

      If I saw a tiger I guess it’d be pants-shittin’ time.

      I don’t like zoos & circuses either.

      • I can only imagine what it might be like to be caged and admired simply because I’m thought of as exotic.
        Thx for vibing with this one, Fia.

    4. What a profound piece, Naajir, can’t love this one enough 🌟
      Tigers are mighty creatures & I hate to see them and other animals caged or in a circus 🙁

      “knowing you’re owed more

      than a poem” > your last lines left me speechless. Much respect to you 🙏🏻
