Man of Kings

the grass scissored in the wind powered

by a sun blinding with conceit

the moon cut out from the sky by a child at play

and set aside for some future game

the ocean serene and cobalt blue

as if freshly inked by the pen of the Creator

a King appeared on his stage

and a candle of hope burned and flickered for his future

but not for long

his fool moving from behind his shadow sits on the throne

where he has always so resided

a ghost well pleased with his work

he rested on the 8th day of creation

like the Devil
