IV THE EMPEROR.
Mother would find another
man
A lover six foot seven
Carved in muscle, hair pure
white
He sits upon the porch
His guitar created happiness
Happiness and peace
No longer would Mother cry
The die had been cast
All hail the emperor
Bringer of peace into this
home
All hail the emperor
Quelling the darkness from
within
Notice the boy’s
Eyes filled with joy
As he stared at that guitar
His eyes grew
They grew wide
As he heard him ply his
sleight of hand
All hail the emperor
Bringer of peace into this
home
All hail the emperor
Quelling the darkness from
within
