There is No King of Macarithia

There is no king of Macarithia
Nor will there ever be
From the ever spanning mountains
To the cliffs near the sea.
Macarithia rules herself unabatedly
From any mortal fool or soul
Though many have come and gone from her
Wearing a crown in a kingly role.
Men have tried and men have failed
To break the prophecy the Shamans told
No matter their strength or skill or valor
Or wealth in treasures, silver or gold.

There is no king of Macarithia
Says not the royal family
"We've rule her long and ruled her well
With Kings like Berk and Laurence and Bramley"
The beasts and creatures find within the wood
Are fierce in an enchanted way
Beasts not to be tamed or trusted
And much safer just to stay away
The Cedars live with the knowledge and secrets
Of the curses and the lore
Hiding below them the caves and tunnels
And a peculiar unopening door.

There is no king of Macarithia
as all did see at the end of days
For the Living forests have always been keen
eager to plot in mysterious ways.
Any man that remains from that land will tell you
The forest can take and the forest can give
Though none can explain her befuddling behavior
For there are secrets where fairies don't live.
May this ode survive time in honour of the king
Who we knew wasn't king  all along
May it stand as a lesson for those of the future
Until my phoenix sings her final song.
