[bodytext] => The One Who Would Be King The monkey he sits on high way up in his tree. His court picked from his matted fur nothing more than his own fleas. A man stares with bloodshot eyes through a tube of mirror and lens. Looking for an answer in the skies to atone for his past sins. A girl sits scared in the dark. A fear not of ghost or ghouls or even her own demise The demon she fears is very real it is the lust in her father’s eyes. A woman ties a band around her arm to try and find a vein. She hopes the needle in her hand will make her pain fade. A man falls face down in an alley victim of society’s woes. Although he will remain happy as long as the bourbon flows. A group of men load backpacks with things that will surely blow. They set upon a course of hatred to murder someone they don’t even know. The monkey sits on high way up in his castle. Happy now he’s found a queen to bear his successor. He spots a human and with a wide smile he knows who will be his court jester.
