The King Of The Jungle

No matter how long the king of the jungle lives in the wild, he eventually dies miserably and alone. This is the world we live in.

At the top of the food chain, the king reigns over the animal world. He hunts and devours other hapless animals. He leaves meat scraps for the hyenas. Age also comes at a faster pace.

An old lion cannot hunt, kill, or defend itself. Once, he is overthrown from his harem by younger male lions, he will roam and roar sadly until he runs out of luck against a pack of ferocious hyenas.

The scavengers, he once scared off his prey, now, surround him on the vast green Masai Mara plains. The hyenas and vultures will dismember and eat him alive. 

Life is short and power is ephemeral. Your physical beauty is a fleeting dream, just like the lifespan of the king of the jungle. We all age and become brittle. At some point, we become weak and fragile.

Therefore, let us be humble and help the sick, the weak, and the vulnerable people in our communities. It is important to remember who we are and what we stand for.  

One day, we will leave the stage, and the surly bonds of earth. Let us bless those in need before we turn to dust. Life is a precious gift from God. We are the authors of our destiny.
