When I Will Be King

This poem was originally published on 27 July 2017.

When I will be king,
I will be fine.

When I will be king,
I’ll have land that is mine.
They shall obey a voice,
Whose accent they scorned,
In a tongue I do not share
But they have been warned.

When I will be king,
They will look at my skin,
And recognise quite a different beast
Rests within.
And they may bleed the same colour,
Wear the same melanin,
But I will be king.

They shall bow to a man,
Whose body they mocked,
With roots I somewhat shared,
But at the same time did not.
When I will be king,
I won’t have to belong.

When I will be king,
They will still be wrong.
