The Mighty Lion
The Mighty Lion, standing proud.
All things beneath him; nothing as loud,
As the roar of this beast, in the middle of the night.
There is no other creature for him to fear
And he has wisdom behind those amber eyes.
So stoical, he stands there;
As he is observing his plain.
All others are running around so quickly,
Whilst he remains unruffled,
With his courageous heart,
Behind his mighty mane.
No challenger approaching; no chance of defeat.
The Mighty Lion stands proudly,
As he rules over all that which he can see.
From the birds in the sky,
Down to the insects beneath his feet.
The Mighty Lion rules with razor-sharp claws
And he can end any fight by simply showing his teeth.
His counsel is sought, to settle neighbourhood disputes.
His decision is final; his words speak only truth.
His eyes can see through liars, as he gains knowledge from his Pride.
He stands there, remarkable, in his domain
And his view is always right.
He knows all of the stories that spread around the group.
He has an army of animals on his side.
They are under his leadership.
They are his motley crew.
The Mighty Lion stands apart,
For he is truly their King.
He has earned his place at the Head of the Pride,
But still, he walks alongside all others
And he fears nothing.

Thank you. The poem was inspired by memories of The Lion King (One of my favourite films)
He needs a voice of strength, courage and pride (lol - pride) for He is the King after all...
"The stone that the builder refuse,
Will always be the head cornerstone. (words of wisdom!)
The stone that the builder refuse, (crying in the windy day)
Will always be the head cornerstone. (saying)
Forsake not your brother, (forsake not my brother)
Just try and help each other. (just help each other!)
Behold! Jah is mighty. (Jah is mighty)
Yet he sit with the highly, sit with the lowly,
Sit with the highly, sits with the lowly.
Say the stone that the builder refuse,
Will always be the head cornerstone.
The stone that the builder refuse. (Coming from the wise man.)
Will always be the head cornerstone. (It's words of wisdom.)"
Jah is Mighty - Bob Marley and The Wailers
