A King And A God

You were known long before white men landed
A legend that no one ever had the chance to see
You were both a king and a god
Watching over every creature of the forest
Yet you never asked for anything
It was just your love for those weaker than you
True, you may not exist except in stories
But the forests would not be the same without you
And that would be a shame
