D. N. Bloom
Lion

             I am the proud dignified ruler of the jungle.
The conqueror of truths, the restorer of order.  I am the
strong voice of reason.  The challenger of chaos, the
teacher of love.  I am the passion of the animal kingdom.
The protector against evil.  My heart rules my life, and I will
fight with all my might.  My love encompasses the world.  I
stand my ground-I won't move an inch.  Life is eternal.  I'll
fight to the bitter end.
