Lions don't beg for food.
Lions don't negotiate with other animals.
Lions don't smile at prey, they dominate the game.
The truth is Lion sleeps in every brave MAN.

I don't care if you value my art
I don't care if I will ever make name in art
I don't care if you don't buy my art.
I don't care if you can't afford it
