The Lions

“There can be no covenants

between lions and men!”      - Homer

Lions!

Lions do not abide ten commandments!

Lions dwell in Nature, feast

with their absolute strength and liberty!

dawn trembles at their long deep roars

the fragile heart of night is trampled

under their giant paws

nomadic pride marks the border

of their free will

residential rulers happy to prey

on the meek and lowly

idle away their daylight, bask in sun

and take down the world at one fell swoop!

Lions constitute their nations

Lions pursue and possess their happiness

Lions move and cull their herds

Lions hunt men and sheep

Lions know what is fear

Lions can also feel pain

so Lions exert all that-

with their righteous wrath!

so they can live like Lions
as Lions do!
