I Remember Pride Rock

AN: My second attempt at poetry, and my first attempt at something angsty, this si Timon's POV on the events that followed a day when a new pack of loin's arrived in pride rock and attempted to take over.

I remember Pride Rock
The day the war began
new lions had entered wanting to conquer the Pride lands

I remember Pride Rock
The day they declared war
the day the pride landers fought like never before

I remember Pride Rock
The moment it went to hell
the moment when all my friends fell

I remember Pride Rock
How Nala and Kiara where first to go
the pain Simba felt by this, the way his pain filled cry told me so

I remember Pride Rock
How Kovu joined the dead
cornered by the enemy in the battle they had lead

I remember Pride Rock
How Pumbaa and I tried
but in the end only I lived and he had also died

I remember Pride Rock
How Simba gave his life
so that I and others had a chance to escape into the night

I remember Pride Rock
The way I heard the screams
the death cries of innocents, a cry like a horrible dream

I remember Pride Rock
and in my dreams I see
all my friends, so many dead their spilt blood forms a sea

I remember Pride Rock
Not that it matters now
even Rafiki and Zazu joined the dead somehow

I remember Pride Rock
how I managed to survive
me and Vitani the last ones left, escaping to the outlands hoping to thrive

I remember Pride Rock
and look to the sky
pray for the answer to my question that is why?
