Until the lion really learns how,
To write, the story will always,
Favour and glorify the hunter.
Hence, the lion must write!
The hunter owns the main news,
Outlets: Newspaper, TV, Radio,
Now there is the social media.
No excuse, the lion must write!
The hunter suppressed the lion,
From printing its particular poetry,
In the mainstream publishing house.
The resourceful lion created rap!
The hunter embargoed the lion,
On entering city-centre theatres,
And practice ballet dance but,
The lion performed street dance!
The lion was exposed to football,
Tennis, rugby, athletics and took over.
Now blocked from polo, cycling, golf,
Fight on, the lion must play!
Oral tradition is chock-full of folktales,
Knowledge, wisdom and information,
Now stolen and patented by the hunter.
No option, the lion must write!
