Stripped of their nobility

Stripped of their nobility

A Poem by Huw

They were in captivity
and yet called a pride
I saw no dignity
no honour
or satisfaction
in their demeanour
Misery
gloom
melancholy
sadness
and disgrace
are the words 
I’d use to describe
those once noble beasts
a "misery of lions".

Stripped of their nobility.
