The Lion Who Runs From a Lion

THE LION WHO RUNS FROM A LION Born of a Lion But raised among sheep. Stronger than iron But shiver like leaves in upsweep. Boldness is one of your identities But at the sight of your clan, you flee in company of groupies And scatter before God and Man. Instead of taking your territories As it is written from the Genesis, You succumb to your enemies just at the sight of their emissaries, Not knowing the old saying of wise words: "He who runs because he has seen the Lions can never run faster than he who runs because the Lions has seen him" in the woods. Since the son of a Lion is a (lion) cub, Then the son of God is a god. That's the veracity you have to absorb. Accommodate this truth in your taste bud.
