Born Free

The Lion looks forlorn as he paces around the cage Humans staring at him As if he was on a stage In a Circus or a Fair He was king of the jungle And needed to be there He wanted his freedom That is every animal's right Not Human Beings ogling Lions Waiting for them to bite Because this is what Lions do If they are trapped and humiliated Caged in a Zoo They have a kingdom Where they are King Why? are they held captive When they have done nothing Lion's can't cage Humans For other animals to scrutinize Humans are caged for punishment Murder Theft and Lies In my imagination I've put people in a cage I doubt if any animal Would look at us on stage I think that animals Have better things to do Than ogling at humans In cages at the zoo
