KINGS AND PRINCES

and princes

the king is the authority

but he must have an heir

to sit upon the throne

the day his father isn't there

the child, full of security

the father, filled with fright

the king, plagued by insomnia

the prince sleeps through the night

the ruler of a country

has a power, absolute

but he must plant his seed

so that a new tree can take root

the youth is gifted lullabies

the elder, left with screams

the king has horrid nightmares

while the prince has splendid dreams

it's good to wear the crown

but soon the weight of it will bend

and when the prince becomes the king

his days of peace will end
