Play Your King

Play Your King

Who will emerge from conflict as the king
when millions of people shoot at each other
over whose mental illusion of truth
better reveals the strange mysteries of life?

Why must we always have one single man
play ruler of the tribe as judge of laws
to resolve conflicts between warring groups
and manage peace between neighbors as friends?

I want to rule myself and no one else,
living safe and peaceful on river shore
where I eat apples and watch children play,
then sing them stories of your foolish wars.

Why do you all choose me to play your king
when I only want to do my own thing,
so, rather than fight for power, let us sing,
since I am but the dreaming carbon ring?
