The King and the Father Face Off











Shall we dance ...
Picture these titans
In lock-step
Kitty-corner
To each other
On the square
Both controversial
In their own ways
Both beloved in time

The priest tells the actor
He was memorialized
In his armed forces uniform;
It almost cost him all
The king is wise to costs ...

Both king and father confessor
Now and always
Under the eye
Of the raven
