"...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.
