A lot of modern poetry is too hard to understand,
it has become too complicated for the uninitiated or casual reader.
These poems are by an ordinary bloke, for ordinary folk. © Chris Daws

The King
Bow down before me all you men
and leave the tribute that you bring
you'll never feel freedom again
o'er all you men I am the king
Bow down you nations of this world
bow down and render everything
forget the lords whose flags are furled
o'er all your lands I am the king
Bow down you masters of the air
you'll ask before you take to wing
and hope that I will hear your prayer
o'er all the skies I am the king
Bow down you sailors on the sea
you're tied to me by silver string
where'er you land there will I be
o'er all the seas I am the king
Bow down, Bow down, Bow down I say
while from this world my due I'll wring
and deep asleep I hope I'll stay
o'er all these dreams I am the king
