Analysis of Of Captains and Kings



Imagine a country with no captains or kings,
           where liberty sings.
Where people work hand in hand,
           to build a better land.
A locale without hate,
           where each of us has a loving mate.
                      and no one fears their fate.
We must work as one,
            until our work is done.
