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.

I had to say this ,..haa how i loved his majesty..tell you something about him..he never goes wrong like a God..no one to say a bad word about him,he enjoyed all the wealth of a country and all just happy for that ,for he is unique in everything..he kills as he likes ,put in prison ,tortures the way he pleases,for he is above all lows
he has different genes from the ones that we carry..he lies with any woman of his choice ,rape is just an honor to the victom..he is blessed when he is raped
and thats only part o the priviliges that he has,for he deserves everything
and all should keep their mouth shut..forever,thats why they gave the gun to the boy..and everyone was ever happy again,it happened almost like that few weeks agon Yemen ,they planted a bomb between his legs it shattered everything away even his manhood..there goes one king..
lovely write

Ohh this is so wonderful,how i loved all your writings ,all of them
this was never shocking,for..i know the king ,we have so many kings here
they are chopping their heads one after the other and it feels so good
for as you say..day after day ,they became less and less,so only the king stayed
he even enjoyed himself alone,now he has to leave,by a gun or grenade
dropped or shot by a child a fool ,or anyone planted to end his happy days
i really enjoyed this as usual..
lovely write..

Another good poem. It is interesting also. The message told in a story form is in a unique style

[Kenneth S.]

This is a nice homage to the history of the last 500 years.
