A tiny village reside
below the kingdom.
Improverished farmer's fields
yield nothing.
No cows for the cows to graze,
no potatoes for the family to eat.
Nothing except for weeds.
They call upon the King,
asking him for help through
the harsh winter.
The King abandoned them,
he thought his own pain
waas enough to deal with.
His wife died while giving birth,
the child days afterward.
His most loyal servent
had been stolen by
the neighboring kingdom.
The village died off that winter
all at the hands of the King.
For if he had provided the with food,
or coal for the fire, they might have lived.
Instead, he did nothing.
He played God and left them to die.
The next winter he had to no meat,
for the cattle died with the village.
Karma set its wrath upon the King
and before bring he was burried
with the village. |
