Oh the powerful ending of this ... makes me think of Blake's majestic "The Tyger" poem ... well done my poet ...

Thank you for your comment. I had to look Blake's poem up. It is a beautiful piece - thank you for enlightening me.

"Tormented eyes." They probably reflect a tiger in captivity. Wonderful write!

Yes, I was out at the zoo yesterday...Always a trip of conflicting emotions. It was a lovely, well enclosured place that does a lot for conservation...yet a cage is still a cage.

Beautiful, but heartbreaking. Makes me think of trophy hunters, who fail to see the pain that the animal clearly experiences, and all for a cheap thrill and a trophy on the wall.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the this thought-provoking haiku!

Thank you for commenting. Man's need to dominate all aspects of his world has led to many atrocities, I'm afraid.
