Two tigers can obey God's laws,
Live gently side-by-side,
Or concentrate on all their flaws,
Then fight till one has died...
And with so few still left on Earth,
It pays to stay as friends,
To celebrate each other's worth,
Make peace and make amends...
But tigers aren't aware of those
Still living close nearby,
If some are friends, or some are foes!
No wonder that they sigh...
And just like Man is prone to do,
Each tiger stays alert,
Survival instincts proving true,
Then neither one gets hurt...
When harmony has been agreed,
It's smiles all round again,
No cause to fight, no cause to bleed,
They live like peaceful men...
When no hate can harm their kingdoms,
What grace God can allow...
Thank God that tigers don't have bombs!
They'd all be dead by now!
