Poem/Short Story:

In the long beautiful grasslands

A lion lurked by

Looking for a place

To use as a supply

For a meal to hunt

To feed his descendants,

But was there anything

For him to apply?


In the long beautiful grasslands

A tiger went for a lie

To sleep in the comfort

Of the long grass strands,

He left the wound bleeding

As an exchange to a soft pleasing

But was there anything just too appeasing?


The Lion looked up

Merry and please

To see a meal

Laying in ease,

Stepping lightly forward

The tiger awoke

With a crack of a twig

And an uneasy twitch,


"May I use your meat as a meal?"

"Why are you questioning me in my despair? Can you not see that I am unable to make a change to your plans?"

"To be a fair father to my descendants,"

"But are you ever fair when killing dear?"

"Yes, God has created them to server me as food,"

"And isn't fair to use me as a meal?"

"No, as you are part of the family,"

"And does that affect your meal?"

"If affects the laws of the family, the laws of the beasts, and the laws of life,"

"I see my friend, but are you fair enough to save a soul?"

"Yes, follow me through the gates of life."
