King for a Day
Two hours of celebration.
Two hours of salutations.
Two hours of the people bowing to me.
Two hours by the side of my queen.

Two hours of sitting on the throne.
Two hours of time alone.
Two hours of plan and preparation.
Two hours of prayer and meditation.

Two hours of patient waiting.
Two more hours, the end is nearing.
Two hours later,
a dagger through my heart.
Two hours of agony,
I and this kingdom part.....
