A great panther made of plated metal
The form on which her sculptor did settle.
Enlightening all like a giant sage
Her skin and regal robe turned green with age.
Shattering chains with her extended claws
Emblem of her nation and their cause.
Adorned with a royal crown but no mane
Weilding a torch with a golden flame.
Symbol of the city who holds her dear
An image of freedom not one of fear
A septet of spikes protrude from her head
A major date on the tablet she read
Perhaps depicting an ancient goddess
All share the ideals of the lioness.
