King of Tyranny

A king of England, bold and full of fire,

Whose passions ruled his heart and shaped his reign,

He sought a son, a male heir to desire,

And broke with Rome, a choice that caused much pain.

Six wives he wed, some loved, and some betrayed,

Their fates entwined with his ambitious quest.

Anne Boleyn's beauty, for a moment swayed,

Then lost her head, a tragic, cruel behest.

He challenged power, defied the ancient ways,

And claimed himself the Church's earthly head.

His will was law, through long and troubled days,

A legacy of change, for good or dread.

So ponder well this monarch's mighty hand,

Who changed the course of England's story, grand.
