TEARS OF A LION

A leader loses his power and empire with a deep feeling of regret.

Weak, cold, drenched and dehydrated beyond recognition,

Welcome to the big hostile jungle where clemency has no rendition,

Away from my cubs, away from my pride, all I have is heart beats and near extinction,

My strength, my roar and my power all faded in a moment of imagination,

Bring me back to life, bring me back my gusto, bring me back to my relish and satisfaction

 

You gave me faith; I gave you stability and governance,

You gave me decisions; I gave you peace and exuberance,

You gave me power; I slipped into tyranny and autocracy,

You gave me another chance and all that slipped is democracy,

Now my kingdom is gone, my kind is extinct; I am writhing in doubt and complacency,

Bring me back to life, bring back my gusto, bring me back to my relish and satisfaction
