King Cobra in Town

King Cobra in Town

Preface: Thoughts written below after seeing news reports that King Cobras from deep forest came to down towns of Forest in Kerala.

I’m the king of cobras
But now I am starving
No feed is available in my kingdom
So I came down

I hate humans and their behavior
Because they cut the forest
Very hot in summer
Since there are no trees

My preys are not available
Since they are dead
Due to dehydration
And forest fires

Forest fires are not natural
Made purposefully by humans
For the sake of charcoal
How can I live in my kingdom

My niche is damaged
My place is damaged
My kingdom is damaged
How can I live there?

I don’t want to hurt human
Or their siblings
But they hurt me a lot
Directly and indirectly.

I can bite anybody
I don’t bite anybody
Since I bite only my preys
In order to subside my hunger

Tell me what I have to do?
Tell me where I have to go?
Tell me whom I can trust?
Tell me what to do next?
