See if you can guess the creature I am before the final line.
Day September 8 Prompt:

Proud Majesty Reigns


Proud majesty
Radiates from your presence
Leaving an indelible mark
On the ones around you,
Not just your pride,
But all the creatures
That roam, graze and fly
Within your sphere of influence.
There is an instinctual bond
That holds your group together;
You move as one
Fight as one
Hunt as one
Play as one
Under the beating sun of the Savannah.
You blend into the pale blades
Of the dry land
You lay low
Resting in the hot of the day,
Then when the time comes
Make your move
Plan your strategy
And attack in formation
Keen and sharp.
Your eyes search for the weakest
Of the pack
And bring survival of the fittest
Into being.
Taking down the less
Of the strong
And building up those that remain.
The circle of life
Makes another pass
Through space and time
As it has for hundreds of years.
This is what is done.
This is how you live,
Love and survive.
Intrinsic to your kind
You are the great beast
Who reigns with strength
And vibrance
Not taking more than needed,
But satisfying the necessary
For family and the greater good.
Lioness, hear you roar!
