Light the lamps for the king returns,
Victorious and valiant,
In an eternal battle with,
A ten headed enemy...

Have heard this story a lot
Versions different but essence same
Wondered the likes of it
explored the world that's mundane...

So far it seems a piece of cake
Till a sneaky thought came across
Provoking me to think its elements
When emerged from naught...

Treading in deep waters was my state
Muddled headed if I missed a stake
Life appeared like a box of chocolate
Tracks cleared, the mist disappeared...

Searching for the element I came across arrogance
Looking farther I saw unjust
The enemy as mean as a snake
The devil of hatred deeply placed...

Viewing past the delightful horizons came to my vision lust
The enemy captured innocent and was blinded by greed
Cruelty and unfeelingness engraved in his bones
Anger and pride made him as blind as a bat...

The nemesis trapped in delusion
Using his might on the weak
These portions if represent the heads
Counting ten lost the eternal battle against virtues...

As arrows took each head away
Light shadowed darkness as did the truth
Welcome the soul that defeated the antagonist
This is the king who walked thorns to reach the bed of roses...
