Just Like the Lion

JUST LIKE THE LION They swoop on their preys Like the lion And the carrions They must leave behind Tell their story. Have you seen Sleeping lion snore After a great feast? Have you seen the lout With glee in its wake Stroll to warm his skin Under sun as the day lasts And the way he hounds thereafter. Bones that are heavy Made swifter to crush made whole Strong bones made stronger By battle and valour Eyes gazing in blank With whiskers and tail to watch As to what the head is thinking Or has seen Any moment The soft palette in the mouth Strains between good and evil And begin to wet Hooded with an enduring mane He could just pace around Resting his tireless Paws and claws To do a good job means All must be ready for the job The power mongers Are like the lion Swift with their hands and legs And all other trappings For holding victims in leash to death.
