Justice For The World

Justice For The World

Grasping string of sorrow that holds his kite, 
Wulfred escapes as far as he can go 
from crowded city run by gangs of thieves 
to sit on mountain of the holy light 
and wonder at soft song of glowing snow 
in secret meadow where the raven grieves. 

They hung him upside down from the oak tree, 
mocked him while beating his father to death, 
then left him with broken arm by locked gate, 
so he declares his mission to live free 
while learning martial arts with heated breath 
to fight with the wand forged by honest fate. 

While ten years pass in spinning of the world, 
as the thief king takes over the whole town 
to exploit working people for his gain, 
Wulfred attains role of the palace herald 
so he returns with goal to take his crown 
and cleanse his hometown of the grifter stain. 

Robed as herald sent from the palace court, 
Wulfred strides in castle of the thief king 
who fails to recognize the boy he beat 
when he welcomes herald of the great fort, 
feasting on steak while his enslaved girls sing, 
then demands the envoy kneel at his feet. 

Standing tall before thief king on gold throne, 
Wulfred unrolls scroll from the palace lord. 
"Great King Carolus who rules this vast land, 
declares that Donald the thief should atone 
for foul crimes he commits with bloody sword, 
so he should repent for deeds of his hand." 

Screaming in rage at threat to his cruel reign, 
Donald commands guards to arrest the herald 
and chop off his head to protect the state, 
but Wulfred evades hands grasping in vain, 
wields energy of justice for the world, 
then strikes to punish him with well-earned fate. 

Forcing the greedy thief off throne of power, 
Wulfred arrests his state-destroying reign 
to imprison him in cell of his rage, 
breaking his oppression of the state tower 
so people benefit from their own gain 
since the thief is confined in lawful cage. 

Though the people proclaim him their new king, 
Wulfred manages electoral campaign, 
crowns as magistrate the person they choose 
to execute laws programmed by the Thing, 
then lives in garden on the river plain 
where he raises children with his wise Muse.

  1. Orpheus visits Wulfred who tends pear trees in his garden estate with reward from Emperor Charlemagne for successfully defeating the gangster thief.
