Of Lions and Lambs

It's a dog-eat-dog,
kill or be killed world.
A vast jungle populated by
two types of individuals;
lions and lambs.
The lions;
greed-driven, ravenous
and opportunistic.
The lambs;
meek and malleable
sitting ducks.
Both jockey for position,
aiming to reach
the pinnacle of power.
Both are propelled by
the desire to succeed.
But unlike lambs,
lions covet power and glory,
at all cost.
In an existential struggle
for survival, ruthlessness
rears its ugly head
as the lions ultimately
devour the lambs to rule
a savage kingdom.
