Lionize ... Roar

Today's word is "lionize" ... LaHY-uh-nahyz ... to treat (a person) as a celebrity. (Dictionary.com)

Roar
In this jungled world,

Some have the wildest dream,

To be chosen, lionized,

The best in nature's scheme.

There they would reign supreme,

And with ragged tooth and claw,

Demand that we obey,
What they deem to be law.
