Castle of Kings

-Castle of Kings-
by Keaton Foster



Castle of kings
Foolish within
There lives a man
A wicked prince
He has no queen
Not one subject
No heirs to the throne
He above all else
Is very much alone
Just what he likes
Just what he wished
He chased them away
He told them all
To run and escape
He chained every gate
From the inside
Boarded up every window
Down low and up high
No one
Will ever again enter
He’ll be alone until death
And for an eternity after that
Now
He just wanders the halls
Singing his sad song
The only one he knows
The only one he remembers
Each line
As haunting as the last
Each verse
Constructed madness
His skin is pale
His eyes empty and dull
His heart wickedly wise
His mind ancestrally defined
His disease was handed down
From one madman to the next
Not having kids
Anyone to come next
Was his way to stop
The spread of what he
And no one else sees
As a plague upon his crown
He has done what is right
For himself
And his kingdom of one
Oh the price
Castle of kings
Foolish within
There lives a man
A wicked prince
He has no queen
Not one subject
No heirs to the throne
He above all else
Is very much alone
His decision
His ultimate choice
A way of saving everyone
That comes and stands
Upon the footstep
Of his twisted kingdom
Knocks and shouts
Let me in!
