Poem
Wiping the cold sweat off my forehead 
Standing beside the dying king’s bed
Thinking of a remedy while a sword 
Was pointed to my shivering neck 
I was praying not to fail, I begged the lord 
But how can I heal a man this old and sick?

The tension was in the air
Combined with stressing anticipation 
Their eyes angrily at me did stare
Expecting me to bring him salvation!

“If he dies, you die”, said the guard 
“So you better do your best”, he went on 
But what to do for an old dying heart?
A heart of a tyrant that’s black and dun  

A tyrant who ruled us with injustice and suppression 
Who made us live years of starvation and depression
How disgraced I am to be his royal physician!
I’ve been praying to god for forgiveness and remission 

A tyrant who did everything to keep the crown
And killed so many to save his throne and rod
Who made horror in every city and town
So nobody could to him object nor stood 

(He did all that to have authority and wealth
But ironically he didn’t know how to keep heath
He thought that he’d live and enjoy them forever 
Well, on that he doesn’t seem very clever!)

But this Dark Age is finally to end 
The revolution started to rise
I may do what I didn’t tend 
And I’m not sure if it’ll be so wise

But at least it will be fair 
The revolution heat is everywhere
So Apologizes to Hippocrates's oath
(I think he’d forgive me, if he knew the cause!)

He’d think it’s not a deed that’s moral
But these values are merely oral
And didn’t stop poverty nor hunger 
The people became full of hate and anger

That their king ran over them with his horse
And enslaved them with his vicious soldiers 
That he didn’t once hesitate to use force
The people became martyrs by royal orders!

“Come on, be quick” nervously the guard said
I started to search for some death in my bag
Then I spoke: okay, you can call the maid
He went to bring her and they both came back

On my way out I said: give him this three times a day
And his majesty must in his bed lie 
(He won’t suffer much anyway,
Because in two days time 
He shall die!)
