Love
Dashes forward, forty miles an hour
a roar, to show it's power
Paws so strong, a neck, can break.
An Antelope, it 's life , it can take.
It can kill and carry, its prey away
to eat the rest, another day.
but he's just another, a carnivore
if no food, then he's no more.
He has a predator, it's called a man
Assyria King, took him for sport.
On Chariots high, with bow and arrow
and Kings, with servants, they did follow.
But courage, can be the symbol too
Invincibility, his Presence, l always knew
the other fierce, but l do not fear
he'll eat the straw, just like the Bull.
He will lie down with Peace, next to the Lamb
and wild beast is gone, its roar no more
from harm to Peace, it gives up the war
Invincibility, his Presence, is shown, to man.
So l fear not the Lion, its roar no more
from harm to Peace,
no more ,
learns War.
