What's Left of the King

Contributed by OTBrooks on Wednesday, 30th March 2011 @ 05:51:22 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



I am a great advisory upon the rule of kings
I will sway to help others when their faithful bells would ring
My charming words of wisdom and young vitality
Was but only matched by my kindness and curiosity
I tried to make better lives for ones whom are of need
That is what separates me from all the other kings

Though history will prove that all reigns will end
Mine was shore to be a long one, I shall not descend
I will continue to here the voices of the crying baby boys
My voice to people is much much more than just another noise
I mean something to people I can not stop to stress
The others offer simple chores; it is my heart in which I lend

But soon it would be my turn to take the toll
I am now slowly depleting, no longer on a roll
How could I be so certain, so wrong, so cocky
Now other kings look at me, why do they have to be so talky
For they have told everyone about my awful flaws
I could do nothing besides just stand there as mad as a woken troll

So when all the people ask me, what is one my mind
I just stand there and tell them perfectness is hard to find
They would stand there so puzzled and mystified as it seems
For a once lived a live that I can now only dream,
and I speak to them how I was once a lawful king, and I would say …

“I was once a great advisory upon the rule of kings
I would sway to help others when their faithful bells would ring
My charming words of wisdom and young vitality
Was but only matched by my kindness and curiosity
I tried to make better lives for ones whom are of need
That is what used to separate me from all the other kings.”
