King Or Coward

by Robert   Apr 30, 2005


Alone I shall walk among my prey,
and my wives shall do as I say.
My mission is to create and protect,
and any other male’s cub I shall reject.
Their life will be drained as I sink my teeth in,
as there body falls limp from this act of sin.
Then I will tear into it’s tender flesh,
and swallow it’s inner mesh.
Oh my wives will hold no malice,
for they know other males make me jealous.
I don’t hunt like my wives do,
for I am the leader of this killing crew.
The jackal, and other scavengers of this land,
will not dare to challenge my final stand.
Although my wives hunt in packs with pride,
you will almost always find me in the shade where I always hide.
The females know when I come and go,
and they to know that any other male will be my Foe.
