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
