TO BUILD THEIR KINGDOMS

"...Thine is the Kingdom..."

=The Lord's Prayer

 

To build their kingdoms

No expense was spared

The deaths of millions everywhere

The obscure sorrows of the obscure

And this we learned in school as history

Treaties signed and battles endured

And usurpations of the soul

The soul cries out to God alone

Whether from valley or from throne

And yet we slough through misery

For those who craved a legacy

And trampled those so less, unknown

For thirst of a glory all their own.
