Their Majesties

THEIR MAJESTIES The appearance of lions attests to their majesty A creature by Man infused with all sorts of fantasy There are humans whose brains are afflicted with zoanthropy They think by killing to absorb a lion's vitality So they pursue and steal his life with alacrity Lions have none whom they fear Except when the monomaniacal predator called man is near Heavy the head who wears a king's crown For the lowly will steal it to call it their own Not understanding kingship resides never in claws and fur It's in your spirit which the thieves cannot incur
