The (Ly)ing 'King'
*I (tried) n entered in a contest here...I think! Lol*
He ruled...
the King, dumb...
To the rise
of wise words whispered,
formed from the mouths
of 'knew' better babes...
'Children'who knew
not that what
was uttered as truth,
this 'soothsayer'
layered his tongue in lies
he disguised to make wayward
youth follow his lost odyssey...
A prophecy...
SHEEP flock around
the leader...
So don't perpetuate
further false fate
ahead on the road to life...
because a 'Lying King'
can only rule tediously
until the 'Trump Card'
had been exposed...
