She is my Ma




Graceful elegant and proud

 She walks the jungle with me

 Don’t call her ferocious beast

 She is my Ma, she is, you see.

I was so hungry and lonely

She offered me her teats

Don’t call me a piglet, I am a tiger cub

I will be as brave as she

 Haven’t you seen those yellow and black,

 Stripes that I have grown on my back

You left me to die, in a dark corner

 Was I an unwanted son?

 Blot on your name

 Why did you leave me Ma

To die in a garbage bin

Was I such a burden on you?

 You lost your touch of motherhood

 Look at this tigress Ma

 She is so proud of me

She snuggles and plays with me

 I just wanna grow and make her proud

 But what will I do about piggy genes

That will prevent me to growl

I want to be her true son

 A real tiger cub and more

 I want to roam the jungles with her

and ROAR
