-Kingdom Waits-
By: Alexandra Lane

Imposter kings

dot the map.
They draw their borders in blood.
Build up walls
with broken dreams and
empty promises of peace.
But, these swords cannot
repair the very wounds
they create.

They know they
rule from a borrowed throne;
and so, they claim legitimacy
with oppression and fear.
Their necks twisted--
waiting and watching
for the next pretender in line
to take the fool’s gold crown
from their heads.

But in the quiet,
they wonder about the King
history whispers of--
the One who commands heaven and earth
with no army but Himself.
The barefoot ruler who bears nations
upon his shoulders.
Rather than watch their backs--
instead, for Him, they watch the stars.
