Leo
Intent intense through tonsils growls the beast
Nature the make up of the jungle wild
Hang not your head below the moon lit hour
For he that feast is kingdom of his throne
To meet him is to say death is my choice
And only morbid echoes afterward
Muscular body, short with rounded head
With hairy tuft astride the end of tail
The stars align at night to say his name
Yet in the light, how beautiful his mane
Do not assume the lion sleeps tonight
For victim is the prey with vision keen
We shall not say the beast hence say the best
For none compare to that which is the king
