HUNGRY LION
Why couldn’t you roar?
Silently you tiptoed
What attracted you in that slim tender bull?
To mercilessly made her widow
In an orphanage yoke tied us
Why hiding the motive so deep
Were the five strokes of torture not enough?
But to snatch him away from us
What wrong did he do?
What didn’t he do right to punish him so severe
You have eroded our courage with fear
