Lion's Way to Live

you cannot expect to trust a lion after removing his teeth
you know it can easily kill you with his claws
you cannot expect a traveler who went to a new south
to return to his old south in the same color of flame
he learned new ways of life, forgetting the ones he left behind
he learned to betray to make his way to appeal his kind
