My King (Part 2)
I thought it quite
extraordinary that a king could feel free
From his powerful
position and come here for me
But all battles are
perilous; there always will be a cost
And my king was taken
prisoner, all was seemingly lost
The monsters were
overjoyed to take the king and his crown
But their original
mission was to take my soul down
It was withered and
rotten, beaten and bruised
I just witnessed my
king fall and my soul was confused
My monsters approached
with my king in their hands
They shouted out
obscenities and cowardly demands
The monsters claimed
to be justice, and oddly it was true
They demanded
penitence, for my soul was askew
But my king made a
deal which kept the monsters at bay
He said “I’ll cover
the cost, what is the price he must pay?”
The monsters couldn't
believe it; I nearly lost my breath,
“The punishment is
quite steep, the punishment is death”
They took my king to
the darkest of caves
They claimed it was a
terrible prison for slaves
Inside it was
darkness, perfect pitch black
No slave who entered
ever came back
But when my king
entered the prison, it lit up like fire
His radiance shown to
be a power much higher
But the brilliant
brightness would reveal dismay
We could now see the
caves horrors, the death and decay
There were thousands
of prisoners, in shackles all around
Malnourished and
decrepit, they could not make a sound
Their groans were left
silent, for they had become weak
All that hung from
their shackles were their boney physiques
Their eyes were glazed
over, their gaze like a stone
Their hearts filled
with emptiness, they were trapped and alone
The king let me know
what he was about to do
“I came for these
prisoners, as well as for you
They are imprisoned by
evil, by a lesser decree
But soon they'll come alive, soon they’ll be free.
These monsters have
not seen the height of my power
But that time soon
will come, it is almost the hour”
