The Goblin King Sleeps

In an oubliette deep
does a dank dungeon keep
the Goblin King.

Shattered, weary,
heartbroken,
at a loss to life he sought
and thought would crawl on forever
in a true vanity of his own design.

Yet, a silver lining
does shine on the pitted walls
which confine this man.

For he made a difference while out
in the world of light.

He ravaged, and wrought, bringing knees
to bend to touch the ground
and they fought, found courage,
bringing a change to the world each
in their way, good or bad
in the eyes of men
he brought a change,
and a reckoning was finally
consummated.

Now, he can finally sleep
this proud King.

And finally escape his
dungeon deep.
