No King but Me
(The thoughts of King Herod)
Students of ancient texts
tell me of a
coming one
Dreams haunt me for
there is no room
for another “king”
My people’s eyes are
full of empty hope-
it must stay
that way
Rumors of some child
born under starlight
must cease
“King of the Jews” is
a solitary title
not to be
shared
So his birth I
cannot stop
but
his life will
be short
There can be no
king but me-
still
why do my
dreams
bring fear?
