SovereignA Poem by Thomas Emile Vaughen
I don't wish to be a Sovereign, no I know
I ain't so noble I don't dream of Proclamations Surveying with a Sceptre and a Crown No standing armies set to subjugate No blood hungry ambition for the birds of the sky and the mammals of the land to succumb and bow My Domain Because I could build this beautiful Empire stretching over the vast expanse of sea and fields green and how little it would mean For I don't have you with me No concubine No thrill from foreign dignitaries Could suppress what's in my heart Girl if I were to rule, I'd rule over the dark And everything would surely wilt For the grief that dwells in me Is the only thing I cannot conquer
