The man who lied

As I climb up the hill that leads to my town I look upon it with dreamy eyes I look upon a beautiful town with rays of sunshine looking down upon it the meadows where glittering like crystals as the morning dew descends off the flowers I hear the clank of metal and I wake up from my dream I see the black sky filled with smoke of the factories at that moment I thought to my self why the hell did we say that lying bastard could be king he said he will make this land more prosperous and more beautiful that it already ways instead he created factories put children into labor and destroyed our economy only for his personel gain and nobody did anything about because they were to scared to do so I swear that one day i will over through the tyrannical man we call a king and bring this land back to prosperity and create a place worth living in
