Amidst the joy
There was a ploy
To kill the boy
Just like a toy
II
Soldiers were deployed
To act bold and never be coy,
And kill all, even the decoys.
They were allowed to all tactics employ
III
There were shepherds of joy
For the given boy
This news, the king annoyed
And asked for his head to enjoy
IV
Man is no God
The gods lost their gourds
Geographers lost their boards
As the boy lived as Lord
V
This time I’ll live
Because I do believe
That even in death’s sieve
I’ll cling and live
VI
My enemies are striving
For a smooth diving
I know they’re crying
So why indulge in chiding?
VII
Take a cue
Your time is due
Your case is being reviewed
Laugh now, your enemy would be sued
