Tears of a Lion
Weak, cold, drenched and dehydrated beyond recognition,
Welcome to the big hostile jungle where clemency has no rendition,
Away from my cubs, away from my pride, all I have is heart beats and near extinction,
My strength, my roar and my power all faded in a moment of imagination,
Bring me back to life, bring me back my gusto, bring me back to my relish and satisfaction
You gave me faith; I gave you stability and governance,
You gave me decisions; I gave you peace and exuberance,
You gave me power; I slipped into tyranny and autocracy,
You gave me another chance and all that slipped is democracy,
Now my kingdom is gone, my kind is extinct; I am writhing in doubt and complacency,
Bring me back to life, bring back my gusto, bring me back to my relish and satisfaction
