Despot

In new land of holy grail 
Set a traveller made to fail 
King of dust and god of mercy 
Made blatantly foolish with hypocrisy 

Of dream and vision 
Of fight and submission 
Comes a sense of quarrel 
With which a damaged aural
‘Come forth’ he said
With the might of a knight resting in his head 
‘I show you a world’, ‘a sky like diamonds’
‘Grass tall where morale flowers’ 
We succumbed, green with envy 
Pride and pauper in a frenzy 

But might much like fear, is all in our mind 
And power we think is not the power we find 
For that traveller stood and commanded 
But then soon after demanded 
Golden years and states of fear 
Can only hold a crown for a tear 
Once it’s fallen down a cheek 
It is forgotten and never spared a peak

Tyrants however never rule long 
For control is never life long 
The people stood 
Envious hearts here to do good 
Fight the monarch
Of their mark 

Like all good things 
It must end 
Good morals take their bend 
Mercy in its slings 
Like the traveller 
Recalled to a caviler 

For in this new land of holy grail
Led a traveller buried after fail
King of dust and god of mercy 
Died a man of controversy.
