Pearlescent Poems # 16: Colossal Lion (Original Poem)

Ablaze all around you entirely of hate, in darkness you patiently wait
Eyes glazed with lust, mane covered in dust, jaws open the gravely gates


You're cunning and coarse, you love to coerce, fangs deepen their cuts when they pierce
You're gunning for corpse, a meal that's full course, but if alive then you're quick to be fierce

You're sly as fake gold, tremendously cold, pre-dating the known praying times
Mimic enemies you loathe, you're a predator of old, predating prey all of the time


You're terribly beautiful, devouring as usual, a fathomless method of hunting
You seek to destroy, all weapons employed, the sharpest of minds you keep blunting

The places you've scouted, in corners you've sprouted, attacking young children you've stalked
You leave so few living, evil you keep giving, bite wounds stop all those who had gawked


You run for the chase, so wide is your taste, your crimson tipped claws leave a trail
Your ivory cream, now reddening teeth, devour up all but the tails

An insatiable hunger, rich and poor both you plunder, their faces rearranged, you're Picasso
Discriminate none, you kill just for fun, great leaders, the homeless, and apostles


But karma's full swing, there's a mightier King, who surpasses even you, Colossal Lion
And your end will be daunting, an eternity wanting, when you hear your judgement call, all souls lie in...


Thank you very much for reading this poem in its entirety. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I had fun writing it. For deeper understanding of this poem you can reference the KJV Bible New Testament 1 Peter 5:8 and New Testament Revelations 5:5 in that order in correlation with the poem's theme.
