TEARS OF A LION

TEARS OF A LION

A Poem by JoffytheRay
"

A leader loses his power and empire with a deep feeling of regret.

"

Weak, cold, drenched and dehydrated beyond recognition,

Welcome to the big hostile jungle where clemency has no rendition,

Away from my cubs, away from my pride, all I have is heart beats and near extinction,

My strength, my roar and my power all faded in a moment of imagination,

Bring me back to life, bring me back my gusto, bring me back to my relish and satisfaction

 

You gave me faith; I gave you stability and governance,

You gave me decisions; I gave you peace and exuberance,

You gave me power; I slipped into tyranny and autocracy,

You gave me another chance and all that slipped is democracy,

Now my kingdom is gone, my kind is extinct; I am writhing in doubt and complacency,

Bring me back to life, bring back my gusto, bring me back to my relish and satisfaction
