The Lion Matrix

The lion's breath abates at last.

Two pieces silver hold it fast.

 

Though a quick man saves it for me,

Only a rich man may set it free.

 

Darkened Tower beyond lion's teeth,

Rattles a sword in filthy sheath.

 

A rhyming, blind man speaks the truth.

Shame he cannot see the youth,

 

Nimble quick to steal his purse,

Quick with shame, sets lions forth.
