Lion: The King of the Jungle.

Lion: The King of the Jungle

Stately, it walks in the jungle

like a king it acts in the pride,

beaut, power, and strength are

its qualities;

yellow-brown-coats-

its unmistaken identity.

Before mane,

all shall bow to the king,

within its territory animals

maintain fearful distance,

whenever it roars-

the wild becomes

agitated and still.

The king-identify by  

deafening roar-

stronger than train

siren,

powerful than ship’s

honk at dock.

A very social animal with

superior order of hierarchy,

a nocturnal animal-sleeps

during the day-

hunts at night.

A territorial animal

that sets boundaries by

scent marking,

king that establishes

authority within domain

by its roars.

Lion-a symbol of power and

Kingship-

a synonym for beauty and

adulation;

a representation of

honor and glory.

Who dare look at

your face shall tastes

your raw power;

whoever challenges your

authority in the pride-

between your canines

its body hangs.

Anyone that questions

your authority,

judge your action, or

condemns your activity

within your territory,

by your eighteen strong

razor-sharp claws-

it undergoes eternal surgery.

Is your kingship

a man-made or

by self-imposition?

Certainly, not-

but divinely ordained.

Oh! The king,

as you set out from your

cave and rock hole today-

let everyone proclaim:

long live-

The King of the Jungle.
