The search for a Queen

[NIN_NOOL]

A king was looking for a queen

so he could win the rat race

Turning down all cards that had a face

He searched every place

When all of a sudden

some jacks sprayed him with mace,

and blinded his eyes

Whispering 9's laced the wind with lies

as floating 5's flew through the sky

A group of 1's saw this incident

as they passed by

The jacks broke camp

and let out a war cry

The staggering king repeatedly wiped his eyes

then the first 1 said hi

my king, why are you out here alone

on the wrong side of the tracks

so far from home?

 

The red eye king

still felt the sting

looked at the first 1

and felt the warmth of the afternoon sun

Thank you 1

I thought i was going to have to run

but I'm looking for a queen

I don't feel complete

My mouth always has a bad taste

My body feels like it's going to waste

if I die my genes will go with me encased

have you seen a queen?

 

Just then some 2's and 8's walked in

and heard the talk of a queen

The third 2

bowed down to the king

as the other numbers let him thru

Queens are hard to find, said the 2

no one i've known has ever seen one

some say they are myths

added the first 1

The wise king did not let

this bad news stun

he said thanks 8's 1's and 2's

but this queen I must continue to persue

that's what my faith has taught me to do

Walking down the winding path

peeping out of the bushes

sick 6's curled their mouth to laugh

at this king of spades,

as it started to pour rain

he took shelter under a giant tree's shade

and took time to ponder what god made.

[NIN_NOOL]

As the fierce rain pelted the ground

he king of spades looked around

transfixed by the droning sound

of the night time shower

just then he noticed this beautiful flower

withstanding the destructive rain

 

He thought to himself

little flower

how can something as beautiful as you maintain

with massive forces repeatedly

trying to destroy thee?

 

He thought on this throughout the night

as the rain fell

With the sick 6's still in his sight

he now saw the beautiful flowers' might

and gained tremendous insight

into his before feeble plight

as the night turned to day

through the trees he felt the mornings first sun ray

and he noticed the flower stand erect with a little sway,

from the morning breeze

he got up with his heart light

and his mind at ease

and thought now it's time to leave...

 

For what he still needed was a queen

for this king to do his thing

before he forsaked all cards with a face

the vital flower now showed him that

thinking like that is a waste

 

He already had the queen in mind

cause she had been there all along

through all his pains and his sad songs

cuter then a baby fawn

her name is verbatim.

 

Her essence is the glue

though his times that were blue

he could not see through

the melancholy veil

that blinded his sight

and kept his mind in this internal jail

 

Before he set off back to his kingdom

he uprooted the flower

and put it in his napsack

and took caution to avoid the burly jacks

 

His thoughts were thoughts of clarity

all the way back

and it didn't take him long

so as soon as he got back

he proposed to the queen to be

with flower in hand

as he told her the story she cried

then said yes, and excepted him as her man.
