He traveled the seven seas and conquered the world Inherited the riches of the kings before him Little did he know of the monsters under the bed Creeping in the shadows, following The man obsessed with the mirrors on the walls Who hoped to be someone different He really thought if he collided face to face with the problem The misunderstanding would come into clear view; In a fit of fury the man threw the bottles at the TV screen Which played E channel's siren song He was strong for only so long Now he's anxious trapped in this cage Ripping up all the magazines that report little white lies They hypothesize, materialize, advertise A false delusion that takes away the substance of a person It's only a matter of time before the king Who traveled the seven seas and conquered the world Inherited the riches of the kings before him Falls like the kings before him.
This poem was inspired by celebrities I admire. When I wrote this poem I was thinking of One Direction and Michael Jackson. I thought of Poets of the Fall, Nine Lashes...etc.
