~ I Was A King ~
In hours where time is a mist,
Where light's retired and new moons exist
Only to betray, royal temperaments
That shape the things to come....
Through bloodlines and mixed lineage
I became the sequestered,
The new randomness....
It was there I was ordained,
Powerfully educated
With the sword, the shield,
Books, from other worlds
With mitigated DNA
And the true blue-blood
From other time periods...
I was tortured and set free
Into the minds of men
Where I swam upstream
And procreated (as instructed)
By a code, implanted
In what seemed mere moments
To enjoy
A life, freely given
To learn of the womb
And the light in a breath,
To walk the face of the earth
As a completely free man,
To write my own songs
And to boldly sing,
That I held my own court
When,
I was a King....
