Maned Ruler

A hyena lets out a chilling laugh As lionesses feed on a downed giraffe The felines will be outnumbered soon By these vile and spotted goons The lionesses have to turn tail As the hyenas continue to wail The hyenas start feasting on the prey, But the lion will surely make them pay As the maned beast comes into view Hyenas flee, they know they're through The lion wastes no time in killing the foe He bites down hard, and won't let go The king of beasts has laid down the law As the hyena lays dead in its huge paws - 5-9-18

You captured the hierarchy of the beast world aptly in this poem, Joseph. Perhaps a lesson there for humans on civility in this world.
