POETRY:
THE DREAM OF THE LION by BILLY J. BARNUM
I once in my life had the dream of the lion
When I woke up last night all I seen, you were cryin’
The blood of a soldier
The dreams of a fool
And the mightiest gods making up their own rules
The knights of the justice have beckoned and gone
The desire of angels from morning to dawn
And the sigh of a prisoner where people are dying
All are a part of the dream of the lion
With spirits bewildered with nowhere to go
And the scream of a pirate as he loses his soul
Where lighting is striking, and people are scared
There’s a war in the graveyard just like no one cared
If the love of an angel can’t stop all this crying
Then this is a part of the dream of the lion
The shed of a tear and the freedom behold
With famish and hunger of both young and old
For the valiant get stronger and the sick getting weak
And the slyness of war dogs killing off the whole fleet
And the preachers are praying for the mightiest hope
That tomorrow will come without all this mope
The miracle of saints couldn’t save them from dying
They said it was all, just the dream of the lion
ABOUT THE POET:
Billy J. Barnum is a direct descendant of the famous Phineas Taylor Barnum AKA (The Greatest Showman on Earth). He grew up in humble beginnings and found his love for writing songs and poetry in his early teens. He would often write poems and recite them for his friends and family and was amazed at their reaction after listening to him speak. They would say such things like WOW! Did you write that? That sounds like Shakespeare! Hence the title of the book. Because of their reactions and all of their encouraging words the birth of this book was born. Billy also is a collector of sports cards and has quite a collection. Billy currently resides in Connecticut where his children live as well. He loves to go to Cape Cod on vacations as it's close to his location and he admires the scenery and awesome historic light houses that the Cape offers. Billy has had the poems you are about to read locked away for years and years and has finally decided to take a leap of faith and publish them for your reading enjoyment. He hopes that some of the poems inspire you and other poems make you profoundly think of the world around you. Through his imagination and words he also hopes that your imagination will inspire you to do great things.
