No, the poet does not advocate total inactivity and death - in fact, he clearly states this in the lines "What I want should not be confused with total inactivity... I want no truck with death". He just wants everyone to slow down for a while and introspect on what they're doing, not completely cease all activity in a death-like manner.

What will counting upto twelve and keeping still help us achieve? - When we, for a moment, take a vow of silence, we begin to see the world as it really is, and see how we have ruined the earth in our endless pursuit of achieving our self-goals without stopping to retrospect the impact of our actions on the earth.

The story satirises the vanity of the British officer, who want to be photographed with a dead tiger, even if he didnt kill it himself.

Humans tend to make rash decisions and to try to prove someone wrong. The king had a choice to live his life normally, but he decided to set out to kill a 100 tigers, just to prove his valour.

According to the poet, taking a break from our monotonous routine by ‘counting up to twelve’ and ‘keeping still’ will help us understand ourselves and those around us better. The quietness will aid our understanding of the significance of peace and tranquillity in this age of futile activities. Thus, they will help us in introspection and self-analysis.

The author points out the vanity of humans through the example of the durai taking credit for the tiger's kill. Moreover, the tiger king wanted to kill a hundred tigers simply to prove the predictions of the astrologers wrong, revealing his nature to fuss over exceedingly trivial matters.

Moreover, the accounts also humorously mention that he was able to save his kingdom from the wrath of the durai by shipping a lot of fifty rings to the officer's wife. - Amogh
