There Is a Sword Above

There is a sword hanging above his throne to whom that feels the power of power an assassin at the gate a complaining soul under the pillow thorns beneath the mattress a glowing charcoal beneath the sandals a caterpillar near his plate and arrow for his heart in the crowds Surely he is most uncomfortable that occupies the throne Though sweet it is as bitter honey once in, not easy to exit.
