Short Poem

King of a Broken Empire

By Claude GlasgowPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I am king to a fallen empire

One that used to be great

I am King to a lost nation

One that goes unknown to your eyes.

You cannot hear the songs of the people anymore

For they have all perished

The once beautiful landscape, now tainted and disheveled

I am losing a war that others can’t see

It is silent but agonizingly painful.

I am King to a fallen empire

Built during the few short years of a child's play.

I am king to a lost nation

The only anthem is a child’s cry.
