The lonely king

My brain is locked down
And my face wears a frown

With seventy different pressures to bear
And heart quivering as the time comes near

Time to sit on the throne
Time to face the enemies unknown

Enemies who will place in my hands their miserable lives
And hide behind the skirts of their wives

Expecting me to deliver them from their misery
Without touching a sword or risking injury

It will be frustrating time for me
Alone and exasperated I shall be

When will the fools understand?
Alone, I am but one man

Together we are a stronger lot
Who can battle this veritable rot

Of corruption and despair, and bring about
The happiness that seems missing all around
