Nurture Versus.
There he lay, a king
and his rusted throne.
He's sat down,
lost his crown and been damned.
All-hells, a man burdened
by the newborn testament of
a people dissatisfied with their
upbringing.
There he lay, a man
and his mighty hubris.
He sits down.
Crown bells chiming above cathedral.
Thank heavens, a man care-free
thinks. He's not late. A newborn
waiting for him by his wife's
nursing bed.
There he lay, a child
and his lonely wail.
He's laid down.
If he could be, he'd be given a crown.
A king on earth. His parents would say.
A suckling babe, raised on the teat
of pleasant life. But world-cruelty,
and he grows as such.
