The Lion Is Bleeding
by Patrick TottenhamSomeone stretched
The meaning of this
Common feeling
Making light of my insight
A stone has rolled
Unshored from some
Dark tomb
As a soul has crept
Aborted from that womb
This lamb's a lion
Banished from its
Native veldt
Unfed, a vein
Left bleeding in the rain
Some eyes saw through the meaning
Vanquished and unearthed
I saw the Lion bleeding
Smarting from its birth
Left untied
United in this sacred ride
Gluing pieces, and
Unfazed by what's denied
Someone stretched
