The lion
ОглавлениеI thought I was the king of the jungle,
until a true tyrant arrived
and took over my domains.
He has cornered me, with all my subjects,
into reserves of fragile borders that shrink day by day.
Like in the courts of medieval castles,
whose walls are often decorated
with portraits of former monarchs,
the hairy heads of my ancestors
adorn as a trophy, as a tribute to ignominy,
the walls of mansions of hunters of prey.
That’s why I now say that I’m the king of nothing.
