Lion Man
December 4, 2014
Of Africa, he was once king.
His tousled mane finer than any crown and
claws held no jewels, but scraps of meat and
the prowling plane was his palace but
poachers know how to hunt.
Of Africa, he was once king
Now he is in a cage.
The crown has fallen, the mane is cut.
Reduced to rationed meat and children’s stares.
And to think, he once was a king.
