My Father

He woke me For a reason And I flung Back the covers That blinded me I retrieved my sword As he told me Who has set foot Upon his world Without Fear or favour I set about My task No one will tread it down Break it Into pieces Without my prying eyes And my sword By my side I can hear His boastful speeches They screech upon my soul That roar I can’t deny As I know What’s behind And what pride Has to come He may threaten My Fathers children But he is just clay He has no real power He fools himself Just as they He is only king To those That praise and graze Around his thorny hills I beg you Don’t follow This Fool He will be the end of you I know I have parried With him before And will again He will up And run from me Like the coward He is A despicable Contemptuous character That spews bile From his hellish head He colludes And conspires Among the evil few His allies are invested Infested Against those Like you Look at his tricks Look for ulterior For they are there Behind His exterior He is not a fan of My Father And definitely Not one of mine And I wear that With pride and honour Like my sword At my side I’ll let him know now He won’t succeed As we are many We will Set the time And manage the laws He is far from being superior To us As we are blind To his royal front He’s a liar Plain and simple Don’t be fooled By his real-estate deals It’s a trap To trip you up Blaspheme spews forth From the lion’s jaws But remember Remember The lion is toothless His followers Blind and delusional And I Await In the south With my sword By my side He will come Again And again But I have more On my side Then he Be wary My nemeses North and East Are with me And the people I can only ask Know your Father Know His words With this knowledge You can Resist
