When scissors get lost in the jungle
Naked molerats don’t bother to speak
And so does the vulture
In the same way
When a mouse gets lost

All self respecting cats, lions
…and their carnivorous others
Who have nothing objective to say
Must refrain from making as much a sound

A little meow creates misconceptions
A little bark horns unfair justification
A yawning roar
…spells insensitivity
Suspicion smells on any action taken
…in heightened tempers

It takes a sage to know the best stage
To act in a family shamed by their own
For that is the right time to spot fools
Use them as tools
…to seek justice for the aggrieved
