And The King Would Say

I once dreamt of a king
Who spoke with dignity and pride
And whose fortune was his kingdom and his tribe
A man who put his people first
And loved with all of his heart
And would do anything for them
Where could he be now?
In this fragmented world of ours…
How did they all subside
To the greed, power, and lies?
I once thought of a king
Who respected all Gods
And never used them, or their words, to get his way
A man who opened his mind
And was genuinely kind to all
Despite their beliefs
Where has he gone now?
In this fearful land of ours…
Where in this day could he be?
Lost for none to see
I once remembered a king
On the front lines of war
Fighting bravely for all that he believed
And when he died
The soldiers all cried
But with honor, just to be with him then
And the king would say
As his heartbeat slipped away…
"Love your fellow man
And do all that you can
For peace to find your way
Love your fellow man
And do everything you can
The future holds brighter days
Tomorrow is yours to take."
