Riddle
Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! was the call!
Motzinick! Motzinick! Motzinick! came out!
But lo, the tiger, by all names and seasons,
Did not dine on Motzinick today.
His father was the reason...
For Jamolacka stood grim of eye and hand...
Ghost on his left.
Darkness on his right.
Railroad running back, ahead.
In the morning, on the tracks,
Little Motzinick found his father dead,
And Jamolacka striding out of sight.
What perilous plight on India's soil
'Tween British and Moghul...
Island, jungle, do not mix.
No matter Madagascar.

The BIGGEST hint is within the poem itself.

To look upon such puzzles, is to look upon a 3D building. you cannot be sure to the meaning, or the things that lie inside. if you look in one window you see the grim hand bloodied, with the ghost rising from the corps, and from that window, and time it is clear that it is the infamous Jamolacka. However from another window at another time you seethe tiger with his noes in blood, and tasting his little find. For to look through another window is what I'll do. to say they both had there part in this play. To beat and eat, to kill and swill...
To know if I'm right would be an honor, but the wonder is as wonder does.

I've been reading this for five minutes, looking for the words to say. I really like it. The last stanza will stick with me for a while. I recited some Kipling at lunch today. This takes me to the same place...
'Tho they've beated and splayed you
By the very Gaw'd that made you
You're a better man than I am
