## Content

Long live the King He has the best medicine and tech in the world But he lies still in the best clothes on the best bed He’s got doctors with no timelines Men with thick midlines and greasy hairlines They shuffle through their books then shuffle in a beeline To the doors with no answers The women come with youth in their sleeves Youth in their posture, youth in their gaze Looking down on the silent man in his silent robes Is he dead? No, he is just waiting for you To wake him up in the right way The right words and the right moments Will break the spell that keeps him still But WHY Why should we waste our beauty and our youth Our posture and our everything For this man, even if he is the King of whatever? But WHY When he would only see us as objects to own Why should I give him everything that Makes me who I am Just to keep him, He who I know nothing of, Alive?
