Song of the Lion Tower

Gifted as

a power play,

from golden sun

to endless grey.

From plain and plateau,

freedom, joy

to pain and sorrow,

royal toy.

Come closer, keeper,

pet my paw.

I'll have revenge,

now hear my ROAR!

​

Inspired by the Barbary lions and other animals kept at the Tower of London from the 1200s up until 1835.
