When lion roars
the whole world listens.

When lion roars
leaves tremble.

When lion roars
birds go quiet.

When lion roars
rivers pause
and winds hush.

When lion roars
gazelles hold their breathe
and gophers freeze in their burrows.

When lion roars
grass snakes
and hyenas howl.

When lion roars
the whole world listens.

But the lion does not roar
at a mosquito.
