Inside a warm, enticing sheep’s coat
Lay an ever hungry lion,
Gentle roars, little snores,
100 facets as its snares:
Each for the tigers, the cheetahs, the snakes,
And a 100 others for the humble deers, hares and frogs in
the lakes,
An ever hungry lion,
That consumes, and consumes, and consumes,
Beyond measure it absorbs,
The hungry lion with multiple mask,
Ate and destroyed, Destroyed and ate
Until it stood tall, proud, unbounded and loud.
Standing tall, proud, unbounded and loud
It assumes absolute strength:
Proclaiming itself the kind king,
Beneath its glowing, beatific face, is an untold greed:
That feigns provisions to the multitude,
But, throws pennies and grabs pounds!
Feigning, absorbing and benefacting
It plays a many player game befitting,
Forgetting that Goliath was, but shot down
By a humble David and a stone
Grumbling Goliaths everywhere, Davids afew:
Crumbling the Goliaths, Davids triumph!
