The Story Of Damocles Poem by Mahoghany M

Way back in the day
When people loved nature and trees
There was once a man named Damocles
Just a servant to the Queen
He saw what the people wanted him to see
The excitement caught him and they made him see
'He was supposed to hanging with royalty! '
Days went by, living the life that he led
Enjoying the good times, having fun with his 'friends'

One day Damocles was getting ready to go home
When his good friend said,
'Why don't you go and sit on the throne? '
'Sitting on the throne felt real good', said he
His friend cried;
'Dude, you have sword swinging over your head!
And guess what? It's connected by a thread! '
Damocles never saw this coming.
Not by a long shot.
But he'll vouch for me
When I say
Don't pretend to be someone you are not.
