Consider David’s and Saul’s kingly path.
Who was beloved? Who, the saboteur?
Who waited on God enduring much wrath,
patient, submissive, yet stalwart and sure?
Solomon, who could have asked anything,
gained discretion, approval from his Lord.
Laying aside wealth and fame, this young king
sought wisdom he knew was not his strong chord.
Jesus left heaven’s throne, came down to earth.
Separate, still in the Father's employ,
destined as sacrifice for man’s rebirth.
Body broken, blood spent, ‘twas Jesus’ joy.
Redemption, resurrection, worth the loss
of esteem bearing man’s sin on the cross.
Being king is
A prime duty
To everyone.
Blue hearts are never SAD,
It’s just the color of ROYALITY

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
God wears the bling,
Its a constitution ting,
King Chazza going to fix it,
Give the corgis their biscuits,
Now he's got the crown
He can turn that frown upside down,
There's no way his Regal reign
Will get washed down the drain
The Patri, mono and hier archies
Rely too much on his malarkeyGod wears the bling,
Its a constitution ting,
King Chazza going to fix it,
Give the corgis their biscuits,
Now he's got the crown
He can turn that frown upside down,
There's no way his Regal reign
Will get washed down the drain
The Patri, mono and hier archies
Rely too much on his malarkey
To dazzle the curious populace
That might wonder if now its the time and place
To shed the over familiar embrace
Of a pale, stale, overripe monarchy
The media's wet dream fantasy
Filling front pages with hyper hysteria,
'Did Andrew deflower a teenager under the wisteria...?'
What will it take for everyone to see,
He's no emperor and, without clothes on
He's as naked as you and me....
human in decree
moves, tricks and reigns reversely
for the slight kingship!

God lives in silence
Nature speaks much for kingship
Man speech governs all

king
from the as usual womb,
king
from the as usual clot of blood
through the thorny same pain
by forgetting all
on secret round table
kings thirst divert
for blood like wine!
