PP, no, leopards would not do. Ever heard the idiom, *Leopards cannot change their spots?* These particular ‘leopards’ have succeeded in eliminating their spots completely. They’ve none left. The lion connotation implies king of the jungle (and it is a jungle out there). Not only that but he defeats and devours when hunger strikes. Excellent choice. And, may I add the Melania image is striking and elegant. A vast difference when comparing the prior first lady. The trophy room finds me a bit surprised. I see no stuffed bear standing tall with front legs outstretched. Small potatoes - do enjoy seeing Kelly’s image which more than compensates.
Nice, V K. You’re a scholar of Scripture and a master of parables...
It’s natural for every leopard to be spotted, just as every saint at some time sins. But the deceit of these leopards is so great, their spots have shunned the light of truth and moved into body to surround their hearts and darken them.
Look at the Kelly leopard’s hide, so beautiful in the purest of white, yet see how her inner darkness and dishonesty easily shine through.
Then there’s the Todd lion who growls so loudly, but can’t really bite because he’s fake. In truth, he’s only a midget lion, too childish and stuffed with hatred to be a lion of dignity and accomplishment.
