Objection
I hear animals tell me
under squirrel’s intrigue
That I’m servant to you all,
servant of animal kingdom
Who employed me here?
I fought and got power
with secret support by God
now I fight for myself
I’m here to promote a thing
kingship of the wilderness
for my cubs and grand-cubs
and great, great-grand-cubs
to them this kingdom belongs
It is a taboo for a lion
to hand over precious power
to squirrels and its family
Lion the king passes over
kingship to family of lions
not family of squirrels
Ask me not against, never!
We shall re-focus attention
from antelopes to your family
and you know the results
