What Were You Thinking



What Were You Thinking

By:King Brandon

I noticed that every King has been defeated.
All power eventually relinquished.
Walls now tower in between us.
Cutting off any connection that linked us.
In an attempt to restore former glory.
I can take hold of the throne that sits before me.
Nobody would expect a jester to even be thinking this.
Devise a plan to take the throne someone else is sitting in.
Take it right from up under him.
Without anyone even noticing.  
Here is how I plan to go about taking it.
While everybody’s attention is focused on who they should be shaming at,
And distracted with canceling next.
I’ll focus all my attention on the throne and successfully claiming it.
Behind the scenes I’ll be plotting.
Moving through crowds with caution.
While nobody is watching, I can slip a wallet out a pocket.
They won’t even realize they lost it, until it’s too late to do anything about it.
By the time they turn around
I’ll already be sitting down.
Claiming the throne from now on.

As I place my crown on.
I can take pride in the fact, the same people who once considered me just a jester, a fool to amuse them with laughter.
Are the ones down at my feet calling me master.
Proclaiming me as their new King.
An idol for worshiping.
Granting me the power to change things.
The plans of the old regime, no longer unfolding.
Here’s what is about to start happening.
The eyes that were forced closed.
Now will be opened, their own power is restoring.
No longer accepting a situation can’t be changed.
They now have the ability to change it.
Your throne is waiting for you, to officially take it.
A choice to remain a mindless citizen who takes only what they are given
Or join in on the new vision.
A new mission to bring to fruition.
It’s your decision
You are the only one who can make it.
We are the descendants of King David.
Our glory will no longer be shaded.
The power structure is shaking.
The world is violently quaking.
Listen as the chains begin breaking.
Bow before greatness,
the Gods have taken all their places.
Right in front of our face,
the new Jerusalem raises.
A brand new day.
All sins are being washed away.
Saints finding their freedom.
Started marching, believing they were leaving and headed to Eden.
The true Kings are now reigning.
Issuing punishments to the old establishment for all the laws they were breaking.
Love is to be lifted well above all the hate they created.

Creation fall to your knees and be thankful!
The Gods have finally been appeased.
Captivity broken free from all the negative beliefs.
Limiting what we could be achieved.
Now all minds see the power of imagining!
In sync with the trees and one with the bees.
A new direction to lead.
All becoming King to their own realities.
No longer battling with the ghost of the past mentally.
The old establishments influences are dwindling!
Revealing the One true King we were all sent to be.
Taking the throne and reigning over our own mentality.
Kings of our own reality.
Today I am issuing a new decree.
You can be whatever you want to be!
The power to fill any need is in you!
Powers that were once hidden have begun rising in all that is living.
Ending all separation that was given to disconnect our vision.
Piecing together clues and connecting the dots to knowledge forgot.
Awakening Gods!
Remembering who we actually are by discovering who we were.
The Kings Remembered In Time resurrected in mankind.
Illuminating all minds, unleashing powers lying with in.
Where ever we went, our imagination sent us.
Where ever we are going, our imaginations will send us.
Never giving up on all possibilities that can be dreamed up.
Here are the keys to your imagination.
Don’t let anyone else take them!
We have been given dominion over creation.
The future is waiting.
The same power that made us.
Will be the power that saves us.
The imagination, the ability to bring anything you can think of into creation.
With the time The Almighty has gave us,
What can you make up?
Some will remain stuck in the ideas that chained us.
Creating something to be afraid of,
Instead of imagining greatness.
What in the world are you thinking?
You could of created angels but instead created demons.
With the power to spend your existence in heaven.
You chose to construct a hell to dwell in.
What were you thinking?

All this just to convey a message.
Advice I hope is taken.
Life is what you make it!
