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.
