A Fat Lion And A Thin Lion Poem by Ojok Isaac

I got lost in the jungle so dark
The nest of trees formed a green world
I couldn't heed anything else but green
I tried to move but kept on getting lost

I didn't even know the direction to follow
So I was moving because I had to find
A better place to enjoy my life
Though I kept getting lost

And I had some roars
I knew it was from a lion or leopard
Though it was warm
I felt chill running in my marrows

I tried to run but didn't
I recalled what mother told me
"When you meet a beast, just relax
And be normal just like you were"

So I didn't change anything
I kept the pace as it was
And the fat Lion roared and stopped
But the thin Lion roared and pursued

So thin and hungry, I was afraid for my soul
But I never did it, I just relaxed
I think the king got even afraid
For he met another king

Who was not moved by fears
Of anything that come his way
There was fear in my heart
But there was strength in my eyes

That made the lion to stop
Confused why I didn't run like a prey
Why I didn't even scream
If I were to speak, I would've said "just relax"
