There was once a mighty king
\nHis eyes were brimming.
\nHe was the talk of the town
\nPride ornamented his walk.
\nGreed crowned him.
\nWomen were afraid of his lust.
\nHe envied every happy person
\nand took it out on gluttony.
\nHe earned only wrath from his people
\nAnd became slothy over time.<\/p>\n
He was never remembered.
\nThough he was a man of strength.
\nHe never went down in history.
\nPeople wouldn’t know any of his stories.
\nHis sins adorned him in life.
\nSo did it, in his death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
