CONFESS TO ARMS


To you wise and powerful King

Royalty we see by the lake

By the lake of Cedar

On the fifth month of the

Ninth year, we greet you !





CHARGE OF REQUESTS


In respect to you the King

And of your royal court

We humbly come before you

Asking one request, if it so pleases you

Being in high admiration we ask

This request of you

Please grant us time so that we may

Travel through this time to benefit our

Own personal need

Being honest in nature in your presence

We ask this of you our powerful King !




ILLUMINATED GATHERING


As we approach the King’s court

Greeting your majesty, being thankful

And respectful of your authority over this

Jurisdiction

Your Kingdom’s laws govern over us

As loyal subjects

Honoring your ideas and noble principles

That guide this land over all merchants and

Their families







GRATITUDE CONCLUDED


On the grounds of the royal court in your

Majesty’s presence this day, we bow to your

Kingdom’s authority which we confesses all

Yours and yours alone !

We give you our utmost joyful gratitude for

Your royal assistance in our time of need




ACKNOWELEGEMENT


Our good King who rules this territory

Under Mighty God

Authority of you over us peasants, court guards,

Merchants, soldiers, doctors, chaplains and their

Families

Whoever can not live with you may they surrender

Without a fight for you are a fair King !

From your throne you rule. We all are intrigued by

Ruler ship and live in respect of your throne and sector

Ruler of the territory Almighty God gave you privilege

To rule. We are blessed to have your sovereignty over us.




IF THEY SAY



If they say he is fading

Don’t believe it !

If the weather doesn’t cooperate

Don’t trust it !


If a cougar wants to attack you

Don’t let it !

The flailing arms of a stranger

Usually means some kind of danger

When it is cold on a summer morning

This could be some type of warning

The agent met the unknown visitor

‘Cos they wanted to settle a score


The agent lost because of his lack of power

The unknown visitor fading in an hour

It was a marvelous sight to behold

Just to watch this battle unfold


So if someone tells you the agent won

Don’t believe any father or any son

Count your blessings everyday

In the ole traditional way
