King Me
I was going to be the ultimate king
You can’t be a king a non-thinker said
Of course I shall be, I retorted
My granddaughter plays football, does she not?
There are no limits on kings these days
But what kind of king shall I be?
King of the world? King of the apple tree?
King of the King of Kings?
Oh, man. That went way too far.
Sorry, God. My apologies for that one…..
I shall be the King of me, the ultimate king of my feelings.
The king of my reactions, and actions.
The king of my happiness, the king of me.
I bow to myself in the mirror,
And run off to create a suitable crown.
