Kings

 

Would you want to be a king
If you could
And why

Would you be benevolent
Or just another tyrant

What makes you think
You would be righteous
With unchecked power

Maybe you’d go down in infamy
Maybe you’d be stabbed
By someone close to you
That’s what they did to the emperors
You know

Would you free the slaves
Or yoke a few more

We are all philosophers
Until we are met with force
Then its easy
To turn into brutes quickly
Killing machines
Exterminators
Subjugators
Dominators
Controllers

Would you be a king
If you could
