Evil, Evil king.
by Novastare 5/16/2010, 9:15 pm
(( This was inspired by prince john's mother in Robin Hood. M&F Medium: some dieing and blood, Low: It's fiction, but no unicorns or anything.))
I look up, a broken land,
I say a prayer, to guide your hand.
Your people suffer as you lay in gold,
Oh all the horror that will soon unfold.
When you were young, I knew you best,
You used to be different, from all the rest.
Your hand healed many, and your hand cured,
You lead the other boys, with a wooden sword.
You showed promise and a will to fly,
How could I believe that sad little lie.
I loved those good times that gave you a tan,
I loved those bad times that made you a man.
But then you changed, yes you wanted more,
You wanted the ocean, you wanted the shore.
You killed many, good ones and bad,
When I looked, I turned away sad.
What happened to your honor it just went away,
You blacken the night and you darken the day.
Oh the cries I hear from the town,
You don't cry, you don't even frown.
You simply laugh and take what they have,
You take their lamb and you take their calf.
You give them nothing, you are a king,
Oh honor, such a forgotten thing.
And so, my son, let all of them die,
They once believed, in your little lie.
Now they don't, now they run and hide,
Your driven by anger,and your driven by pride.
So rule my son, rule until they come,
They think you stupid, they think you dumb.
I'm forced to take your side, because of my blood,
I'll be thrown to the dogs, I'll be thrown in their mud.
So sound bells, yes let them ring!
My son you're an evil, evil king.

*-* Absolutely wonderful! I just love how you indirectly describe things. It's hard to explain, but it really gives it that poetic feel, you know? Of course it should have a poetic feel and all (seeing how it's a poem) but still. Great job!
I really liked that part. ^^^

Thanks so much, this really helps me to improve. Also because its coming from a great poet like you! Thanks so much! 
And those lines are one of the better ones I had in my head. Some of them came to me, but the first one I knew I was going to put in there when I started.

I wanna see the movie! D: It looks fabulous.
Anyways, I lurves the poem, like most of your work. It's not too prose-ish, if that makes sense. And the rhyme was not even noticeable until a few lines in. xD
