the boy in the high citadel

the boy in the high citadel
who crept as his enemies fell
aloft to a chair
above in the air
where he watched them descend into hell

the chair was of platinum and gold, and
the cushions, of clouds they were molded
he floated along
always singing a song
and he never did what he was tolded

he created a law of his own
and stated it from the throne
all those went against
he said off with their heads
where they rolled, no it never was known

all the sins his enemies create
he said "wait, give it here" and he ate
whence his belly was full
all the hells became whole
that boy had peculiar taste
