The old king sighs. His people hold their breaths His armies are ready to fight His generals look at each other His queen remembers the passion His people remember the days of splendour His generals remember his ardour The old king looks up at the clouds then bows his head again "Maybe it won't rain tomorrow." Nobody moves.

The Old King
The old king sighs. His people hold their breaths His armies are ready to fight His generals look at each other His queen remembers the passion His people remember the days of splendour His generals remember his ardour The old king looks up at the clouds then bows his head again "Maybe it won't rain tomorrow." Nobody moves.
The flesh is willing, but the mind is weak.
