His Majesty

Published in "Dancing In The Eighties". Four Winds Press. 1983

Well, I think this world is happy,

and I think the people are glad.

There's not a smile captivating

like a smile that used to be sad.

The King of all the nations

is having intercourse alone.

What used to be the majority

has dwindled down over the years.

And the soldiers of the King

are products of his happy laws.

Our happily lost Emperor

counts his gold on the dead.

His Majesty sits high on his throne,

blessing the people who came to see.

With all his many duties to perform,

he has allot of faces to be.

There sits our good King

thinking that he used to be free.

They slipped the kid a gun,

from where they wouldn't say.

And the child sure looked good.

He was all set to play.

And then he caught the message

and blew the King away.

Interresting tale of events!

[. serah .]

This is an interesting tale, though I'm not one for violence in any form. I do, however, understand how it's born and accept its existence.

Intreresting poem with a great twist at the end.

I confess i didn't think the title was promising. But I still had a look. BOOM!
