The Mad King

The mad king refused to leave

Knowing there’d be no reprieve

So instead he solicited his support

To get ready for civil war.

So many tantrums he did throw

While democracy suffered his blows

But that ship has finally sailed

As his bid for a second term failed

He dreamed of being king forever

But the people said “no not ever!”

Spectacular was that revolt

To see his power revoked.

The moral of the story my friend

You should never solely depend

On dividing the people to rule

Or you too will be cast out as a fool.
