A magnificent king

Slack against the wall;

See how gallant he stood,

So poised. Now posed, he

Silently plays a fool.


Strung with the guts and heart

His spirit is tossed;

How noble he once stood,

He lived. Now stiff, We

Hunt for what has been lost.


Helplessness reigns so true

Without your loved one;

Who fell limp when you stood,

With pain. Now dead, I

Weep to think you're alone.


Why must the hunter kill

In such haste and hate;

Ignorant of your stance,

If wise? Now done,

I ask my question late.
