The Feast of a Lion
A poem about hunger

Hungry, fierce, deadly.
Awake at the break of dawn,
the lion readies to kill.

The lion retains a hunger for speed,
a hunger for growth,
and a hunger for victory.

The lion, strong despite failure,
with intense focus,
aggressively catches up to the target.

The lion holds a lethal accuracy,
an unfailing drive to eat,
and a merciless attitude.

The lion, hungry for the meal,
remains fierce through the chaos.
The lion, deadly in the battle.

I am the lion.
