The lion had eluded hunters for years.

His guttural growl the sum of all fears.

Then one day, a hunter decided

That his this spectre could not be abided.

He tracked the lion back to its hub

And saw it feeding its lion cub.

The hunter couldn’t hesitate, no matter how many it had sired

So he took breath, took aim, and fired.

This poem is about the vulnerabilies of the strong and how those vulnerabilities can be exploited.
