STRENGTH<br />
M.J. Copic<br />
Follow bloody footprints<br />
Ignore the whispered warnings<br />
March up to the lion’s cage<br />
And aid them in their mourning<br />
The lion keepers smile wide<br />
Teeth sharper than their charges<br />
As they point to all the joy they bring<br />
They don’t mention how this started<br />
Look into the lion’s eyes<br />
And see the lies writ plain<br />
These creatures are not happy here<br />
The cages are their pain<br />
Their keepers are not keepers kind<br />
Nor help the way they claim<br />
They rule with fear and iron fists<br />
In their attempts to tame<br />
So push the cage doors open wide<br />
And throw away the key<br />
Run with the lions, don’t look back<br />
Finally you are free<br />
