LAzy RuLer
He doesn’t see
Maybe he chooses not to
Maybe his greed filters through
He doesn’t hear the screams from the valley
Maybe he doesn’t want to
Maybe he doesn’t know what to do
All he does is sit in his chair
At the top of the hill
Without a care
Sitting in a throne
Watching his life pass
As his kingdom shatters to glass
As his men fall from lack of fight
Fall from a disease filled night
Lazy ruler
Has it all
Lazy ruler
Must now fall
He must leave this land
‘cause we demand
Our stomachs
As our pride
Demand
A lazy ruler
Can never win
Can never begin
His reign

cool premis! like the flow. sum scratches in the "our stomachs as our pride" repeating conjuctions like of, to, or, our etc; cause unneeded bumps in the journey. all it takes is a little word play n you can smooth it out.
