nicholas boateng - KINGS

Kingdoms rise and fall
Kings reign and die
And never is any eternal that be earthly
Do not think
That thou shall be forever
Princes where before thee
Great ones at that;
Who slew beasts by hand
Subdued mighty armies by the sword
And princes after thee shall be
Do therefore thine best
That thy name be remembered
In many generations after…
’’I have served my time
I have honoured my kingdom
And now I go on…’’
