King of the Hill

A soulful hymn

To the king of the hill

A throned majesty

Surveying the kingdom

A watchful eye

A thoughtful mind

Weighing up choices

Revealing a kind heart

Summon the people

Something must be spoken

You are not subjects

Or passive objects

But people to beĀ 

Treated with respect.

The king abdicates

And monarchy dies.
