King

King

"I am King".

He stood before

The monolithic audience

And stated.

The audience felt

Uncomfortable.

Strained smiles

Marked a few of the

Pasted faces.

"Oh yeah,

Well what do ya rule !?"

A middle aged

Attention seeking heckler

Shouted from the last row

The audience burst

Into laughter.

Streams strolling from eyes

That once seemed

Stagnant.

He stood still

Presented open palms

In a gesture of peace

And calmly answered,

"My mind. My heart.

And my spirit."

And all was still.
