On Wicked Kings And Time Destroyed Dragons O foolish king, sitting on hollow throne thy lost kingdom so dark, thee sits alone. Embrace thy greed, measured in stolen gold destroying people with your lies so bold. O foul villain, in false pride laboring greater evil thy own destruction brings. Thy henchman, voices rarely taboring singing false praise to their cowardly king. O hideous dragon, thee shall find death power will be taken from fangs and claws. Cry , when fire is removed from thy breath and silky-smooth is made thy wicked paws. In thy deserved death, innocence is spared scales of justice, the two hast been compared! R.J. Lindley, April 24th, 1973 SONNET, (On justice being delivered to tyrants and dragons)
