Arisa K

ARISA K

There lived a great king
in the coastal region
the name Arisa K..
A good leader was he....
But beneath the smiles
Oh.. my what a character

Arisa K the slaver of your young sons
ARISA K the sponsor of bandits...
ARISA K the very enemy of his people..
a great leader he was considered...
for few knew the excesses of his atrocities..

Villages burnt down..
villagers retaliating
to their surprise... their lost sons
the very ones raiding them...

Oracles consulted for its taboo -
to shed a kinsman blood...
Oracles spoke..twas night
then fell great arisa k.. three arrows..
Sent from the gods themselves... justice?..

Arisa needed to fall and never rise again. Lewis your stories are captivating to read and has good moral message behind them.
