The daily circus
For every time the lion roars
the inner demon awakes
violence begets violence
hatred spirals like tea in a cauldron
Tamed is the lion
yet the whip of the ringmaster
holds no true power
the power is only an illusion
an illusion of violence
Why do we raise our voices?
Like whip and roar
whosoever remains loudest
whosoever remains standing last
wins this power struggle
between lion and ringmaster
