I deny denied lions
They defy defiant lionesses
And tigresses
Or even the wise elephant
They scratch the eyes and forget the trunk
We must deny denied lions
They defy defiant lionesses
Eyes are the primary source
Yet vision and sight are lacking
So naturally, there is no lead
The deny of the denied lions
Who defies defiant lionesses
Turns fate into destiny
Suffering into lifestyle
And insecurity into food
I hope it tastes delicious, denied lions
Now you must be what you feast
And I know just how much you love to eat
