THE TERROR

The news of man-eaters
entering our land made us shudder
with fear.
The blood-chilling news of
man-eaters killing and eating
human-beings forced us remain
indoors.
None dared to come out of
their shelters
and those who dared to come
out were united and well-equipped
the surprising news being
none could even make out
how a man-eater looked like
they always remained elusive
but the news of killing
and eating human-beings went
on non-stop sending alarm across human-world
crops and harvests destroyed
the soil of land turned blood-red
the river waters, lake waters
streams and ponds
turned red
apprehending approach of the
man-eaters, human-beings
spent each second, each
minute, each hour in fear.
All were united in warding off
the evil from the
face of earth
but all were in the dark
about the modus operandi
to be adopted
the question of how come
it is possible without having
even a glimpse of the
species
still people continue
to scratch their heads
to find a way out
and
man-eaters on prowl continue
mind-bogggling game.
