    The Untamed Posture of Seven Kings

    -The Untamed Posture of Seven Kings

    The seven kings that overlook the luminous cities
    to the groveling grotto’s, can’t decide to who is the victor.
    The toss of a coin usually decides the outcome,
    considering the equality held among men.
    However, the coin landed on it’s side and with that,
    they are left bickering until the crescent moon beckons for sleep.

    Betrayal. The king of western mountains has issued the delay
    for departure and condemnation.
    Death is the punishment for desertion.
    A rebuke displayed for all to see.

    Can a world divided come to a reasonable resolution among themselves?
    This king, the most unassuming of them all, expects to be forgiven.
    After all, he holds the key to peace among nations.
    This is the one king whose palace is so high it is beyond the clouds.

    Forgiveness for them is difficult, they see the filth in walking from castle to castle.
    The actions of seven remain the life of others.
    Spit on, by the peasants and handmaiden’s as they venture up the western mountains.
    The posture of the remaining seven holds that of pride, dismissal and vanity.

    This king, as a seed was forgiving and now has sprout into wondrous lilies.
    What was thought of as betrayal was a show of strength.
    This king, has caused the coin to tumble over with respect, loyalty and pleasantness.
    He walks out to his balcony, already touching the sky he conjoins anew.
    The king of ocean kneels before him, and asks,
    Will you show me how to treat my creature’s with love, compassion and forgiveness?

    Very interesting title... it sold me
    Reminds me of game of thrones: the faith of the seven. I also think of fate, religion, and looking at things in a new light. The words are perfectly crafted; making the reader fully engaged.
    Great work!

    Thanks Robert! Game of thrones is one my favorite shows, so for it to remind you of the show(even a little) makes me happy.
