The World’s King

Once said to him, "There is a cycle of 
"Good and bad kings. Now we need a good king.
"For before us was a bad king. What do
"You wish your world to choose as their god?"

The boy, brown eyed and straightened hair said this:
"Love." The Giant to whom he spoke, these things
Said, 'That's too ambiguous. It will fail."
The boy stood his ground, and said, "I want love."

Thus, the Giant pondered on it, and said,
"Do you not wish it to be God, like your
"Father before you? It seemed to work well."
The boy said to the Giant these sad words,

"Well, love is god. I wish to have a love
"Which will set the example for all to
"Follow." The Giant grinned a forceful leer.
"Then you wish to make yourself a god? Hmm."

So, the world all could see him, save I
Who saw him in my nightmares which burnt my
Light being to the core of its foundations.
It was as if I had spoken the words.

This man thought the earth was blue and sky bronze.
For he know not aught upon this "blue Earth."
Thus, it was told to him that he would be
A good king. When, indeed, it was all wrong.

For, he is whom the proverb says, "Woe to
"That man who calls evil good, and he calls
"Good evil." For he sees in Earth the Sky,
So, sees in the Sky what is of the Earth.
