A true king of the people 
Category: Writing and Poetry 

Do the right thing, you'll feel better he said
That statement hit me like a ton of lead
At the time I was feeling better off dead

You want to raise your self esteem
Do esteemable acts
Be someone you would admire
Someone they'd call sire

And kiss your hand
Pay taxes in your land
Keep your steeds in the stable
Bring venison and beef to your table

The fowler and harpest they'd work for you
The royal visier would share a thing or two
The blacksmith would fashion your horse shoes

Never would an untoward word be spoken
Never would a secret pact be broken
Never would you be considered a token

Long after your dead the towns people would say
He ruled with honor and died with dignity on that day
A true king of the people
