::parental advisory:: on lion content::

since i'm not afraid of anything ~ could that mean i’ve nothing to fear

said the cub to his mother who replied ~ oh sure son its why i'm here

today daddy told me we’ve no conscience ~ i thought it was insincere 

remember son if a young gun takes him out ~ you too shall disappear

what about you mum ~ i become estrous and get taken from the rear 

By
David Kavanagh 

When a new pretender takes over or defeats
the alpha male of a pride, he usually kills all 
his cubs too, one might think the lionesses would 
hate him, but they immediately become 
estrous and submit themselves to their new 
master, and the cycle begins all over again

I Am Anaya Date: 5/18/2024 1:00:00 PM The animal kingdom is just that a Kingdom of the fittest which you proved and more. There is no democracy. Lion is King and lioness submits herself to him. Domestic Mother cat eats her deformed kittens, not to attract predators. I've never heard of resistance and lioness's rights in the animal world! Blame the creator. Biomimetic robots are designed to interact with real animals, allowing researchers to gain insights into animal behavior and social interactions. Another mind-blowing Monoku/Mono David
Paul Willason Date: 5/18/2024 2:24:00 AM Causes one to pause and take a breath...contemplate the implications of such instinctive behaviour. In a raw sense, seems merciless to us...humans however inflict far greater harm not out of guiltless instinct, but by manipulating reason to provide a sham cause, a justification where there is none. Great poem David, got the cells working.
Lin Lane Date: 5/17/2024 5:21:00 PM Your verse incriminates Adam since he's given credit for naming all the wild creatures.... kinda off the chart, but my thought is that a group of lions is called a 'pride', yet where is the pride in a female who allows her new alpha male to murder her young and then give him cart blanche to her body? My parental advisory... protect the young, keep the male hostage for use when wanted or needed. Seriously.
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/17/2024 4:57:00 PM informative read with subtle parallels to mankind and men and women in positions of power and influence. Well done..enjoy your evening, Sara
Di11y Da11y Date: 5/17/2024 1:44:00 PM There's a lot to contemplate once past the phraseology, perhaps forgetting about the literal but an element of who people would like to be and the dramatic shift that external factors can have on them. Becoming blind to who you were through necessity. There's not too much overthinking goes on in the animal kingdom, survival can look brutal for an onlooker who doesn't get it. I'm sure I'll continue thinking this through beyond leaving a comment. Forever interesting David, that's for sure
