The One Who Would Be King
The monkey he sits on high
way up in his tree.
His court picked from his matted fur
nothing more than his own fleas.
A man stares with bloodshot eyes
through a tube of mirror and lens.
Looking for an answer in the skies
to atone for his past sins.
A girl sits scared in the dark.
A fear not of ghost or ghouls or even her own demise
The demon she fears is very real
it is the lust in her fathers eyes.
A woman ties a band around her arm
to try and find a vein.
She hopes the needle in her hand
will make her pain fade.
A man falls face down in an alley
victim of societys woes.
Although he will remain happy
as long as the bourbon flows.
A group of men load backpacks
with things that will surely blow.
They set upon a course of hatred
to murder someone they dont even know.
The monkey sits on high way up in his castle.
Happy now hes found a queen to bear his successor.
He spots a human and with a wide smile
he knows who will be his court jester.

Fascinating write here, very effective use of descriptions used to establish contacts, like the way the monkey views us, perhaps seeing us as his fool, nice twist.
I must say that I am truly going to miss you, take care, be well, I will pray for you always... Raquel Leah
