King Tut

A man in a boy’s body

meant divinity—

Guardians claimed he was

above all in his

kingdom.

His was the choice of life

and it came to pass

a servant tried to extricate

a goat and the penalty--

a slight wave and the man’s

head came off. Only he

was allowed to raise any hand

for all to see. They were

puny for duties

expected from his position.

And sadly he passed

away very young.
