Ruler Poem by Harcourt Noble

Ruler

Rating: 5.0


Patience, Purity and Truth
Can never be said from the Lion's Heart
Whose determination is to devour
Any Lamb, Goat, Antelope or troubling Tiger

Stained by Sheep's blood
Cleansed by Tiger's blood
The Lion walks away
Either Guilty or not Guilty

Maybe, do you mean neither guilty, nor not guilty?
