Mozilla and Jungli

Once there was a forest,

On the fringes of which

Lived a couple,

who were conservationists.

They had a daughter

Whom they named Jungli.

Jungli grew with the forest.

Nature was her teacher.

Birds, bees, plants and animals

Her constant companions.

Her parents schooled her

In life as a human too.

She learnt languages from both

Her parents and that of the computer.

She read the Jungle Book

Of Mogli and the

'Bear’ necessities.

For her it was the

La la land

Of the Gorilla,

Whom she named Mozilla.

Mozilla taught her

the language of the Jungle.

She in turn

with the animals, learnt to mingle.

As things stood the tale was not fairy.

Slowly and steadily it became scary.

Forests dwindled.

Earth swindled,

by the greedy

and the mighty.

For Mozilla a place was found in the Jungle Safari.

For Jungli a place was found in the urban jungle.

This simple parable, of the Mozilla and the Jungli

a metaphor for the human and the forest.

Without forest, the human became inhuman.
