The Wounded Lion

The provocation was unfounded
Yet Roy couldn't understand why
His beloved decided to slap him

Roy for the first time in his life
Has just received a slap from a she
Seething he hides the lion barely
Leaves with grace seething with rage

Satient for now his knowledge is complete
He has just bee vindicated and he knows it
Earlier that morning Roy was shedding tears
Scouts don't joke with lions.. Roy vindicated

ROY.. Is fully armed now he wields the shield
Defender turning villain he can taste his anger
A defining moment he turns and executes
Executes the forbidden military move - wields

The lion is armed with- 'ngungi'
On his back the forbidden shield
The eagles tail at a distance
Its a near blood bath

At the last moment roy executed the reversal
Executes the reverse move stopping the force
With his own body... the 'ngungi' is contained
Roy now wield's the powerful shield

IME wields the katana glint of silver
Defender you just passed the test
To wield the most powerful shield
In the defense of your people...

The bottled fury - anger
Dont joke with lions - advice
Boy scout honour.. prvt Srek
Private command centre.. PMC
