the mad king sat
on his golden throne
and watched his kingdom burn
“they never learned”
he said to no one
and wiped the blood
from his steaming face

disgraced
his court had fled
too late to save their skin
so now the mob of orcs
was all that remained
to guard the gate
and his savagery within

“my only sin!”
he continued
“was to trust these disloyal fools
sucking up to all my greatness”
and then he smiled to see the flames
consume all that was left
of those sad ghouls
and this gruesome scene

almost serene
but the end was quick
though legend has it
as the bullet pierced his ear
that finally a sickened kind of fear
overcame him
and he did cry

but to no one
for this time no one
was anywhere near enough
to hear
