Gladiator in a bowl
hundred watchful eyes
grumbles from the other side
shake him to his knees
the gate goes up
eyes look to the east
emerges a cat
twice a mans size
looks of death are thrown at
the frightful lad
let the show begin!

Oh Gladiator,
don't lose your needed focus,
strike him down quickly.
Oh Gladiator,
why do you not see a way,
counter attack him.
Oh Gladiator,
Glory and Money are yours,
but is it worth it?
Oh Gladiator,
you are becoming tired,
defeat him right now.
Oh Gladiator,
you've won the perilous fight,
now Sleep peacefully.
Oh Gladiator,
despite your win yesterday,
there's no hope for you.
Oh Gladiator,
surrender this very fight,
against the lion.
Oh Gladiator,
you did not listen to me,
yet you have survived.
Oh Gladiator,
you may have killed a lion,
but only for now.
