Leo Proud
I am Leo Proud and I roar,
my mane is my crowning glory,
when I run to catch my prey,
all you can see is a blurr of windy sable,
speeding ahead with legs of steel,
a mighty animal machine who lives to devour.
I am a hunter who stalks my victim first,
and then goes onto the race of death,
salivating as I think about blood and flesh,
a natural instinct of the wild as well as the chase,
determination and hunger drive me to attack
a frightened animal knowing its life will soon end.
The strenuous hunt is over and I roar proudly.
my queen and our cubs hear the mighty dinner bell,
we gather to feast upon our tasty meal as vultures are near,
our bellies are full until the next successful hunt,
I am Leo Proud and I roar as I share this story
for all to know that I am king of my African territory
as I sit proudly upon a throne of survival.
