The Son Of The Wild

By Advaith Manoj Iyer

Stealth of a jaguar, muscles a-fire

Climbs like a monkey, higher and higher

Runs like a cheetah ,streaking around

Jumps like a hare ,going bound after bound

Swims like a shark, cutting through the waves

Eyes like a hawk, to see through the haze

Works like a beaver, never giving up

Has the energy of a young coyote pup

Strength of a bear, defending her young

Grip of an ape , on climbers a swung

Pride of a lion ,way above the rest

Howl of a wolf, cause he’s the very best,.

Son of the wild, he’s comin’ so

You better get away if you are his foe

Mind of a human, spirit, of a beast

None can defeat him, not even in the least

He was born in the jungle, child of the earth

No one else can claim of such noble birth

He fights for freedom, so creatures can survive

Without him, they would not be alive
