Awakening the sleeping lion.

Awakening the sleeping lion!

In a world ablaze with strife and fear,
Where nations brandish swords and threats draw near,
Russia and its allies dance on the edge,
A nuclear waltz,
a perilous pledge.

But here in our United Kingdom’s embrace,
Hatred festers,
fueled by prejudice and race,
We must awaken the sleeping lion within,
To quell the storms,
to heal and begin.

Riots echo through our ancient streets,
A cacophony of anger,
pain,
and defeats,
Religious cults vie for dominion of minds,
Their dogmas binding,
blinding,
and unkind.

But all religions,
my friend,
are but a cult,
A way to wield power,
to manipulate the result,
Science beckons us to face the unvarnished truth,
To seek knowledge,
not dogma,
in our quest for proof.

And as you battle your own darkness,
my dear,
Cancer’s cruel grip,
health’s relentless spear,
Remember that within you burns a fierce light,
A lion’s heart,
resilient,
ready to fight.

So let us rise,
united,
hand in hand,
Against hatred,
against ignorance’s demand,
Immigrants,
too though,
seek refuge on our shore,
On this one,
Let compassion not guide us,
let empathy not restore.

For in these tones of chaos and despair,
We find purpose,
resilience,
and the strength to care,
Awaken,
my friend,
the lion within your soul,
Together,
we’ll mend,
heal,
and make the broken whole.

I hope this song resonates with you, the reader, even in the midst of your personal struggles. Remember that you are not alone, and there is always hope. The lion needs awakening within us all!
