In Marked Territory

The ruler of his kingdom He designates the lines The pieces that belong to him His subjects and their lives He rules with domination His disciples are but fools This powerful head of state Oversees and overrules His commanding reign of tyranny A symptom of his fear That the truth of his own worthiness Seep through his brusque veneer Deep within marked territory A little boy survives A little boy who measures worth On the ability to rule lives
