The Crownless King Poem by Sentamu Aziz

THE CROWNLESS KING

A crownless life it is
For this multitudes' King
Governed by its subjects
In mistakes and intentions
Scribbled and Drawn
In Booklets and Scrolls
Notes walls and cloth
Pausing twice in a while
Hand stop or Ink Drain

Agreements of conquest Signed
Wishes promises and songs
Prayers and poems to recite
Love letters and appointments for jobs
Scripts of skits and plays
Rules and regulations of governance
All come from one King
Pen the crownless King

Much are ideas of the mind
To be clear when put on paper
Designs that feed the eyes
Prints that sell an artist
Adverts that guide us to buy
Notes of knowledge to read
Words of wisdom to guide
Spiritual words and prayers for faith
Kept for long by this pen

What beats the King of all times?
Simply call it the Pen
That ages gone can be known
Ancestors gone beyond knowledge
Kept on earth by the pen
Miracles and Wonders in Legends
Kept Long by this King
For by its Mercy they will be told forever

Treaties so many signed
Thoughts of wisdom written
Notes to remind the brain
Signatures down for cheques
Proof and Bondage symbolized
Facts kept so long
Laws to govern the world
Happenings of the past
Plans for the future
All subjects to the pen
Children in kind terms
Leaving the pen in no need to wish
But to remain the king
In need of no Crown
