nobody is above the law

Nobody is above the law
Rulers, law makers and ordinary people
All are subjected to its principle
You can be sued and counter sued

All aggrieved parties
Law is the arbiter of a grievance
The Courts shall be the avenue
Put up a case let it be judge

In the Constitutional monarchy
The ruler must follow the wishes of the people
It is the people mandate deciding the course of the country
The monarchy is a symbol to allay the fear and frustrations
Of his people, a judge to bring harmony to parties
He must decide the best course of action
For the needs of the people and country

When the monarchy fails his duty
Siding one party over the other
On the believe it is the best
He has lost the plot
When his people say otherwise

Hasty decision by a ruler
Never listen to his people
He has created own tension
In the country he symbolically rules

When the majority of his people
Airing views differently
He should take cognizance of the fact
Before he accedes to a request

Now he has made Constitutional crisis
Of his own doing never studying it legally
As a result we have seen the tussle of power
Of parties wanting to administer the state
