Merry Christmas

How many kings step down from their thrones?

How many lords have abandoned their homes?

How many greats have become the least for me?

And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?

How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Only one did that for me.

Just in case you are wondering if I am a poetry prodigy, I should let you know that this is the chorus to the song "How Many Kings" by the band Downhere.
