22. Emperor

Emperor

my lord

my master

let me bow down to you

let this unworthy

slave

kiss the ground before you

my life

my breath

my soul

is yours to dispose of

let me serve you

even as a rag

or a carpet to be rolled out

wherever you step

I obey you

your every command

"Die"

and I shall fall down lifeless

"Come"

and I shall fly across oceans

to be at your feet

"Fight"

and I shall battle an army

of one thousand troops

Let me serve you

Emperor

and I will dirty my hands

so yours will be pure
