Castle On a Hill
I have a castle
on a hill – so high
I can see my beloved from far.
I also see the valley,
and daily lives of my subjects.
My generals can see any enemy ships
from afar.
Still,
I long to live in the valley,
like my subjects. If I can live in the valley,
I will never see my wife cheating on me once again,
or see my soldiers smuggling my treasures.
I want to lie low,
close my eyes, and forget all it means
to be in a real world….
