Literature Text
With an iron fist he ruled
Over lands that reached the seas
Golden plains without an end
With beautiful cities to be seen
Every city growing larger than before
And towers reaching for the sky
Wanting to become God
Before they would die
Towers grew taller
And the heavens closer in reach
It was nearly time for the lesson
He would teach
For he had become a God
And ruled for thousand more years
But to stay alive
Many had to succumb to their fears
For every day, thousands shall give their life
To give power to our Emperor
So that he protects us
From the world of terror
And while we all shall die for him
He's our beacon in the night
So that we all are safe
Until he guides us to the light
Over lands that reached the seas
Golden plains without an end
With beautiful cities to be seen
Every city growing larger than before
And towers reaching for the sky
Wanting to become God
Before they would die
Towers grew taller
And the heavens closer in reach
It was nearly time for the lesson
He would teach
For he had become a God
And ruled for thousand more years
But to stay alive
Many had to succumb to their fears
For every day, thousands shall give their life
To give power to our Emperor
So that he protects us
From the world of terror
And while we all shall die for him
He's our beacon in the night
So that we all are safe
Until he guides us to the light
A story about the rule of an Emperor who achieved God-hood.
But to stay alive, thousands of people have to sacrifice themselves to keep the Emperor alive.
So that he may protect the ones who are alive. But can he?
But to stay alive, thousands of people have to sacrifice themselves to keep the Emperor alive.
So that he may protect the ones who are alive. But can he?

This is a fantastic poem! Not only is the concept fantastic but it reminds me of being an emperor in general. Like for the king to keep his throne and protect his people, he needs to sacrifice them in war to defend them from other powers. It's great! I specifically love the lines "Wanting to be Gods/before they die" and the second to last stanza. Overall fantastic poem!
