Finalist in the 'Beyond Words 2015' competition

The King of the jungle and lord of all lords,
The lion stands victorious over the hunter’s trap cord,
Claws made of iron, skin made of brass,
And teeth like iron-hard shards of glass,
Fangs sharp as a sword are piercing your heart,
And now the beginning of your afterlife will start.
