The Lion Mentality

Business King

If the lion is king of the jungle then how
Can he be that since he’s not the biggest creature
Nor the fastest or smartest? It’s all attitude.
Many people process other people as food.
Their mindsets have a truly disturbing feature.
Compassion is a feeling they will not allow.

When a lion sees an elephant he thinks lunch.
When an elephant sees a lion it will run.
The lion isn’t overcome by hyenas.
It’s important for lions to be as fee as
Possible so that all their hunting can get done.
About enlightenment they don’t care a whole bunch.

Real lions love to hunt. They love the process just
As much as they love getting the ultimate prize.
When you are a true hunter you don’t go by time.
You go by the gazelle and it isn’t a crime
To do so. It is one of the natural highs
Of the hunter. To get to that meat is a must.

Nothing impressive happens in the gazelle mode.
It’s when you want to give up and run away from
Other lions or the lion inside of you.
In the mode of the hunter you’re devoted to
Hunting and eating. It’s too aggressive for some
But to no one is your sense of wellbeing owed.

One Day It Will Be Over

Final Platform

I wish I didn’t take life so seriously.
It has gotten me nowhere but sick and confused.
I wish I had lived more and had given more to
Family. I wish I had a healthier view
Of my life. Were it not real I would be amused.
If I died tomorrow who then would bury me?

I wish I hadn’t given up on my dream so
Easily. One day life will flash before my eyes.
To make sure it’s worth watching becomes my life’s goal.
Had my purpose been aligned with that of my soul
Then I’d have been empowered, I now realize.
I wish I’d given my soul the freedom to grow.

Did my life mean anything to this world? Was I
Love by others? Did I love? And does it matter?
When I’m on my death bed I will not be concerned
About money, status, or degrees that I’ve earned.
All the hopes, dreams, and wishes of life will shatter.
What can I do to serve this world before I die?

I can make my life matter. It isn’t empty
Of the passion I once had. I still have wonder
For this whole life experience. I cannot take
It for granted and by becoming more awake
To my purpose I shall not be cast asunder
By the frightened and limited aspects of me.

The Power Of Attitude

Kingly Posture

There are only two animals on the planet
That have kingly attributes. One is the eagle.
The other is the lion. They both are leaders
Of their respective domains. They both are eaters
Of the flesh of all others. They both are regal.
If one encounters either, one will not forget.

The eagle is the king of all the bird kingdom
As the lion is of animals on the land.
They’ve the spirit of leadership. Their attitude
Is such that they achieve whatever is pursued.
Fearlessness in the face of danger they command.
They are eager for obstacles to overcome.

Not the tallest, or largest, or heaviest beast,
The lion is also not the smartest of all
The creatures in the jungle, yet they all respect
The presence of the lion. They would genuflect
Had they knees. (Never Mind. That was right off the wall.)
Lions are lethal when their anger is released.

You cannot have an attitude that is beyond
Your belief. Attitude is a product of what
Your belief system dictates. Do not lead by fear,
But remember your purpose which is more than clear.
Be aware of the feeling you have in your gut
About life and your propensity to respond.
