Crowning Glory The man who would be king rules in his own limited mind Throwing money to those who will acquiesce to his demands and laugh at his repetitive, unfunny jokes Responding positively to his constant need for admiration Kissing the ring of the self-crowned monarch Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton – Poetry for HealingContinue reading “Crowning Glory – A Quadrille”
