THE GREAT LION BY HJS

HJS COMMENTS: After the election of 2008, but before the inauguration, Politico Mafioso in these pages printed the following observation concerning President George W. Bush's leaving as American President. I thought twice about "THE SOUNDS OF SAVAGES LOOSE IN OUR STREETS", and could not figure out why the feeling was so strong to keep it; after all, who could have predicted the "Occupy" tantrum in this country? hjs


                                                             The great lion


There is a lion at large in the Middle East;


The lion is the american president.


The Europeans have heard his roar


And it frightens them; his power and presence


They do not understand--his dedication to


World peace and his fight to secure and


Preserve it, are lost on them; they have forgotten


That peace is won and held, not given. they are a people


Who will not fight to preserve anything--nothing


To them is worth fighting for. A sad state of affairs.


The savages and the sadists have felt the strength of his claws and his terrible bite; those who once owned the night


Now own nothing and are strangers and enemies in their


Own villages. The people have taken strength by knowing


The lion is among them and are no longer afraid. Only the


Savages now are afraid--of the people!


But the lion’s time is almost up and everyone waits.


What will america do? Will it send another lion?


Or will the great nation become the laughing stock of fools


When the great, earth-shattering roar is no longer heard


And the new sound is that of a rabbit chased by the jackals


Of germany and Russia and the sounds of savages loose


In our streets.
