I
Believe
I like this river and those mountains
Over there. Those words
Sound better to me and this colour
Is of my preference.
I
Proclaim
The forest behind this field
And all there is across the river
Off limits and that we shall guard
Our land with a wall.
I
Declare
Your way of thinking
Acceptable and order creating
Strict followers who will adhere
And ask no questions.
I
Command
Your arms be ready to strike, to protect
My dominion against
All I detest and abhor. Drink now,
Drink from the well of my infinite wisdom.
I
Enact
The one true creed
Which has been revealed to me
By the only God to be followed.
He leads my hand of divine design.
I
State
Body and soul together will not keep
Who crave to crush the crystal shield
Fortifies my realm. I created you and you,
My legal chattels, will conform.
I
Rule
You shall have no other secrets
Than I confided in you. Peace
Be upon him who follows true guidance.
No hiding for those who betray.
