Fantasy Empire

I have not much knowledge to flaunt Or any mystic power to my credit, And as I walk the star-lit evening streets I meet and bypass men of higher merit. And yet I think of you and feel myself a king Over all the blue-blooded folks before my sight, I don’t boast for all to know my fantasy throne; - I walk like a king and think the thoughts of a knight. Unlike titled monarchs who honors entertain This king has no honor parades at military schools Nor regalia of any official nature to distinguish The emperor from the ordinary folks he rules. Although one may deem him a lesser sovereign His kingdom has its great gains since little is at stake, For enemy forces aren’t aware of his imagined throne And thus no foe can oust him and his privileges take.
