Epic
Society
The Lion sleeps well tonight as all of his children are well fed, fit and fearless,
The lion sleeps not so well tonight as all of his children are starving, unfit and afraid of their own shadows,
The Lion sleeps not at all tonight as he has gone looking for his children then found all three of them shot dead by a human being who hunted for sport.
