The King

A story abt a king, wrote it in 2022

Once upon a time 

There was a powerful King 

He ruled half the world, he ruled half of everything

I mean, some really loved him

And some really liked him

Man, they must be really dim

His smile shook the stenches of the rotten underground

His snakelike words manipulated those around 

But nobody cared, cause he's the King of the world 

I mean, around him, we never got bored 

Jester, jester, come tell those funny jokes 

The King doubles over, he laughs, and he croaks 

Hiding his insecurities behind a great grand cloak 

What a fantastic powerful bloke

Knight, Great Knight, say, where are thou

With your fancy sword, and your Turkish bow 

Please, sir Knight, make the King feel superior

And while you're at it, call in the fiddler

All these distractions, and all of his might

Couldn't help the King with his great internal fight

With his army, he won many battles  

But this one…

This one was different

The King sat high on his throne that was filled with hurt

While all his peasants below just moped in the dirt

He sat high on his throne both day and night

But he was shaky, hiding behind his great might 

Yeah, all the Kings horses, and all the Kings men couldn't put him back together again 

Because he used, and abused his powers

But that's a story for another hour

Once upon a time… there was a Fucked-up King

He wore a Fake crown and took all of everything

The throne that he sat in was made out of lies 

So maybe, just maybe he'd fit in with "The Guys"

Messing up his arm at 3am

It's his favorite hobby, ever since the sacrificial lamb

His servants, and peasants saw right through the show 

The King, this ruler was beginning to slow 

You see his kingdom was falling, and saw were his walls 

You could see right inside, see the true inner calls 

For help, but why would we help him? He's the King with all his might

So his peasants left him on the floor to yell and bleed

Another good story to tell, so it seemed

Then one day…

They realized there fatal mistake…

The King…

Now dead…

Burned himself at the stake
