Rule the World

We came, We saw, We conquered " Julius Caesar " We conquered then turned on ourselves without mercy tens of thousands slaughtered in the name of religion or boundaries There have been many who wanted to rule the world..but all is vanity How does one rule what can't be ruled with such a short lifespan? The concept of a single ruler over the world is incomprehensible in its doing Many have tried, all have failed Their lives are buried in the scrap heap of illusions that is our history Wishes and dreams is all that it is and the cost from those who've tried is death by the millions their blood has soaked the ground of insanity since we crawled out of the first cave a small and frightened creature Who am I..but a lone observer to the passage of time where life forms have come and gone as new ones take their place Only the seas and sky remain mountains crumble, continents part and man..he who wants to be King is nothing more than a joker in Nature's court She decides who lives and dies on the grandest scale Man's wars are nothing in comparison, they are mere battles With a single plague we could all be gone tomorrow Who would be King then? 2/20/17 contest Rule the World
