King of the jungle, he was called
So he roared and others he killed
With iron fist he ruled his domain
His dictates were laws of life and death
In the jungle, he was known as lord
Now he has become meek as lamb
A king has pleaded like servant!
Trapped in iron cage, the great lion of Africa suffers
As he watches his strengths start to leave
And his grip on power loosened
He sees his entire world going out of colors;
Fading of all beauties; his future collapsed
All the splendors of his pride is striped
The lion king is now locked up in iron strands
Prison becomes like home, where nothing exists except pains
For all ill he did he must pay
Sadness invades him like a city beseeched by warrior archers
As he pants and grunts and battles his aches
The stronger the lion, the more helpless when caught
Once, the great king of the jungle; now a captive
In that land of times when he reigned
He was full of riddles
He acted as an invincible force
And pushed an entire land into a fiery furnace
By then he was the great valiant
Now he becomes a coward and a victim
With all his murderous instincts caged
He dwells alone in prison, waiting to answer cases
He is misery-stricken, friendless, and recluse
Brooding thoughts like a goat, quiet in rest
Chewing endless cord, pondering
Perplexities of his fate left his strong mind panicky
Deepening his pain; darkening his glee
And every one watched the humiliated burly growl.
