Arthur's
seed arrives on schedule,
Hail
our once and future King,
Holding
fast the age's keystone,
Bridging
times and healing pain.
Around
tables sit night's advisers,
Discussing
free with equal voice,
Tackling
tricky social problems,
Justice
guaranteed for all.
"Primus
inter pares" wanders,
Solving
disputes, healing wounds,
Reinforcing
value systems,
Guiding
through uncertain times.
Look
around oh trusted leader,
Guard
against complacency,
Rivalry
is bred by triumph,
Morgan's
plots still linger on.
Even
'mongst your closest colleagues,
New
love's factions will create,
Serpents
will encourage whispers,
Preparing
your unwanted shroud.
As
life goes on it's always changing,
But
more it still remains the same,
Tomorrow's
mysteries lie before us,
Will we repeat the same mistakes?
