Black Lion
By R. Cary
A lion’s mane guarding at all costs even when his black lion roams,
A never backing down unless goodness is right, honor is given
Even in mistakes dangled to be made when leaving a sought
Demise, never to arrive as fierceness protects what has been built;
When a pride is lured of growling distrust one must step forward
To say no more, to kill the wanting of the black lion and his lore
To finish all, to let all see no more, but his desire will never be fed
Only defeated as the darkness of his hair shall perish when we all
Arrive ready to fight, the pride of us all coming to truth when truth
Is lived that not in one will we survive, not in one will we all now live,
But in us all is how his hair is ripped from his skin, in all is how the
Black lion’s roar becomes his end, as his bate was took but our might
Never truly understood; a challenge we accepted for in the whole there
Is no fear, nor quivering just human born lions ready for his blackened fight
End
