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.
