Awake,
The lioness,
Alive and hungry,
Of turgid past, with many dreams deferred
Awake,
Eyes open, finding causes
To understand that some causes have effects.

Long, long ago she faced injustice with a growl
Of pain and fury,
And then her faith collapsed.
Erasing from the blackboard  all she was,
Replanted her ideals further down.

Walks the lioness
With weary paws the land
That once belonged to her pride as to the world,
A battle always fought but never won, for
This sets the world apart from deeper down.

Awakes the Lioness,
All hear her roar tonight,
All apotheosize the sole sight of her crown.
