Once there was a man,

Who would do whatever he can

To be the ruler of his land

For he decided he was a saviour to the people

But the main motive was, 

To get rid of his life so staple


But there was a problem that stood in his way,

In the form of a beautiful queen,

 Who he wanted to slay

The queen was a woman loved by all,

She stayed inside her castle,

 All around stood her walls


The queen was wise and smart while her progress,

But when needed, 

She could match every single one of her foe with her fierceness;

Though she loved her castle, 

It was not her only home,

Outside, with her people, she would roam


As she was walking in the streets of the kingdom,

When she heard the same man shouting with the beat of a drum

He proclaimed that he should be the true ruler of the country,

For the queen was feeble and weak, 

He said with a voice so angry


The queen came forth and simply asked,

What the man planned to do with a land so vast

There was dead silence,

 Only the sound when the man spoke,

Announcing, that he would attack other kingdoms

And create an empire with people more awoke


The queen gave a  mischievous grin, 

And asked how would he rule as an emperor,

When he would have no love for his empire and lose his temper


The 'Emperor' faltered in his speech,

 He had clearly failed the test

The queen turned her back and her people did the rest.
