Premium MemberLions And Possums

I've carved lions and tigers
but never the possums
or the beavers which
taught us how to build
and better to flee to the
threats of bark.
Shattered marbles,
never roll back
and are done for,
not even keeps
are worth it.
Killing myself
over this,
and yet,
the washing machine
tumbles again.
But this time,
I won't be Christian ed
for your vanity
Obsession
with me.
You can't destroy
the worse of deeds
in the black mirror
Face

Premium MemberLions Dont Eat Carnivores

Grass-eating animals are their favorite food
Lions don’t eat carnivores, they are not in the mood
When they devour the tasty stomach of their prey
They can stay healthy one more day

LIONS DON'T BARK

Lions don't barks
They roar
Always active and focus
Ready to take action at any time
They set eyes on a prey or an attacker.

Lions don't relent
They go furiously and fearlessly 
After what they want or need
No matter the recklessness.

In the game of life 
Be the lion
Pursue your dreams relentlessly 
Go after all you want or need 
Slowly and

Syria, unshackled and free

Syria, unshackled by the three crimson stars, twinkling so free 
Yearning for so long, for the green field, the future to be
Ripping off the blood-stained past of every sin and atrocity 
In his strength, he made the lions and they dynasty flee 
And they, the Guardians of the Syrian Homeland, became free

Our Town

This is our town, this place we share
we’ve got lions, on our town square
old mills, big hills and Smithills Dean
no frills, aside from our home team 
Rivington if you want fresh air 

You’ll not find many millionaires
but dreams survive, with wear and tear
for what could be, or should have been
This is our town 

London’s alright,

Premium MemberBLAZING SUN BRIGHT SHINE IN LIONS HAZING GIRAFFES SOARS GRAZING-

For this you see I'm falling asleep; 
On these the golden fields;

Beneath the sun above the clouds;
Silent rises beset noise;
Congregational life praise hands loud;
Dawning glories burdens poise;

Shouts of jubilee roars;
Like a lion on his prowl;
Nursing timid giraffes soars;
Leap forth over gall they scowl;

==Jungle path nature grazing
Sun bright shine in lions hazing--

Premium Memberlions are choosy about whom they eat

lions are choosy about whom they eat
they do not consider carnivores much of a treat
they might kill you, but they do not want your meat.
grass-eating animals are the only ones they intend to eat.

"She Rides with Lions"

That Queen rides like God
She rides with Lions 
like she could harness the Sun 
Her many arms throw fierce Durga destruction 
as She holds tight to what means most to Her resurrection 
hidden and held in the arms behind her 
like a Mother all Trouble untroubled
the cub hidden and held for protection

BLUE LIONS AND RED DEVILS

BLUE LIONS & RED DEVILS
 
Against the Blues, they never lost for many seasons,
Red Devils came to the Bridge 4_3 reasons:
They came, they saw, they suffered.
Tho' they bottled it, sarcasm isn't inferred.4

In Stamford's grand arena, the Blues roared with might,
A clash of titans, under the floodlit night.
Blue Lion's pride shining, in Chelsea's hue so bright,
Their

The Animal Orphanage

Its the sight waft of rotting flesh
That first hits you
While the smartly dressed
Smiling warden ushers you in,
Through narrow turnstiles

There are rows of enclosures
A maze of them, a maze of the wild
Its like a snapshot of danger
A dangerous predator-laden savanna
Danger enclosed

Lions...
You will hear their shouting matches
Royal majestic roars
Like cage competitions
Even the females join in
While one stares

THE LIONS

Oh boy, did my lions roar
They kept knocking at the door
Wouldn't quit or go down
To me, they're the best around
Putting Tampa's team on the floor
