When Royalty and Tyranny come together....

An ode to our pride

Thick black stripes against a bright burning skin,

Ears sensitive enough to pick up sound of dropping pin,

Fearless roar and eloquent eyes with glittering spark,

Sans this member, the forest is nothing more than a deer park.

A spectacular creature so grand and canny,

He is one of its kind among cats so many.

Canines of Shark make him a vice predator.

Muscles of Cheetah make him a swift runner.

His gait is as proud and majestic as a royal king.

He marks his authority with a roar loud and deafening.

Having a demeanor of Hitler’s tyranny,

he is at war with anyone intruding into his territory.

He is ferocious, arrogant and not at all submissive.

Alas, he is turning more and more elusive.

Let us join hands to put an end to reckless poaching,

to behold his royal magic and charisma once again unfolding.
