He Would Be King

He would be king, oh yes, he would if there was a way he could. He'd be ruler of the realm unquestioned captain at the helm. The lies and truth would flow intermixed with no one left to decipher the hijinks. A wall would stretch across the states blocking all openings at the gates. He would be the reigning unchallenged emperor none dare speak aloud lest rise his temper. In the background stand all supporters not daring speak or be overcome by words and mortars. His future lay in wait just biding time to grasp his kingdom most sublime. The average citizen is low down in the ranks as he claims control of law and every bank. His relationship with countries east and west shower them with warnings of his threats. The world is thrown back to medieval times where he is king and innocent of any crimes. With money and power comes absolute rule and the masses below are part of the fuel. Clinging to the folly of his wild and radical whims with no plan or agenda in place he would begin The cry rings out to those with doubt - Off with their heads lost be democracy's last thread. He would be king, believe me he would if it were possible he surely could.
