[hometext] => This is a story about America and how it was once a king
[bodytext] => I am a great advisory upon the rule of kings I will sway to help others when their faithful bells would ring My charming words of wisdom and young vitality Was but only matched by my kindness and curiosity I tried to make better lives for ones whom are of need That is what separates me from all the other kings Though history will prove that all reigns will end Mine was shore to be a long one, I shall not descend I will continue to here the voices of the crying baby boys My voice to people is much much more than just another noise I mean something to people I can not stop to stress The others offer simple chores; it is my heart in which I lend But soon it would be my turn to take the toll I am now slowly depleting, no longer on a roll How could I be so certain, so wrong, so cocky Now other kings look at me, why do they have to be so talky For they have told everyone about my awful flaws I could do nothing besides just stand there as mad as a woken troll So when all the people ask me, what is one my mind I just stand there and tell them perfectness is hard to find They would stand there so puzzled and mystified as it seems For a once lived a live that I can now only dream, and I speak to them how I was once a lawful king, and I would say … “I was once a great advisory upon the rule of kings I would sway to help others when their faithful bells would ring My charming words of wisdom and young vitality Was but only matched by my kindness and curiosity I tried to make better lives for ones whom are of need That is what used to separate me from all the other kings.” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 43 [informant] => OTBrooks [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
