I Am The King Poem by Akhtar Jawad

I Am The King



Below the naughty brain of seventy three plus
Two eyes though affected by the cataract
Can't read without two concave lenses
But below the eyes there is a heart intact.
Where there is beauty there are my eyes
Where there are my eyes there is beauty
I still rule the kingdom of my large empire,
My old smile is still too sexy and pretty.
My lips dance still on my kingly command
Though I faced a mutiny of this loyal general,
It revolted with a large army of blocked arteries
I managed to escape from my dethroning funeral.
A 1.1 cm. stone in the neck of gallbladder
Curtailed the supply of insulin I need
Deprived of cake, sweets and custard
To my craze of sweetness sweet love I feed.
The aesthetic fountain that rises from my heart
Makes my empire green, fertile and wonderful
I counter my enemies with the drugs of love
Who can face me if I can face my God merciful?
My hands and legs are obedient to me
I can still face God standing in prayers
Though arthritis gives my knee a lot of pain
I am the King capable of defeating my all slayers.

Physical pain and suffering can never derail the loving heart and mighty mind of a King.! Yes, love of God and family are powerful drugs that counteract physical pain. A great poem of a great man of character, poet and philosopher and most of all a loving king of his kingdom.
