kingship

no, it isn't that I don't understand kingship;
I misunderstand it:
human kings have brought the word too low to use.
your kingship something so different
that we just do not recognise it.

and yet the need for a king is as fundamental to us
as it was to the ancient tribes.

politics; religion
no division here that you recognise.
the connotations for us spoilt by history
