Who Crowned You? Poem by navymii(m): 5:14pm On Oct 06, 2012 |
Once upon a still night in a tropical african jungle The animals gathered and they began to rumble All were gathered except one The lion, the supreme one Amidst the cacophony of beastly voices Cackles,bays,yelps and other such noises There was a unifying undertone In the assembly beside the great black stone Who crowned him king? Trumpeted the elephant with a violent ring He isn't the largest Nay, not in this forest He isn't the deadliest either Hissed the irritated viper Spewing out his fork like tongue In a vicious monologue He isn't even the fastest The cheetah was quick to attest So tell me why he rules And makes the rest of us look like fools He's also not the wisest, the tortoise drawled Quick to defend the slow pace at which he crawled And pointing to his wit To raise his shoulders a little bit More and more the animals spoke Terrestrial,arboreal and aerial the silence broke Declaring in unprecedented consonance Their opposition to leonine dominance Just at that moment,the hawk came swooping down He's coming, He's coming, who wears the crown And in the distance, they heard a deafening roar Almost like thunder before a heavy downpour And just like that, the meeting fell apart As they all hurried to depart The folly of the question now evident To the rebelling dissidents |
