Queens and Kings

These queens and kings,
they know nothing
of being true kings,
of being good queens.
Their scepters are sold
to behemoths,
gigantic leviathan
consuming the poor.
A true ruler
gives a rule of love,
of self-sacrifice,
justice and peace.
The prophet King,
the graceful Queen,
this is the thought,
the proclaimed,
and though she
will never succeed,
he will never
impose himself,
their reign lives on.

(Jeremiah 23:5-8, Psalm 72, Matthew 1:18-25)
