Emperor Sargon

King Sargon of Akkad became
The world's first emperor, so said.
A common man he rose to fame.
Four thousand years ago he led
Armies to rule the Middle East,
The first empire the world had known,
So quite a first to say the least.
A new world order seeds were sown.
King Sargon ruled in time and place
For more than half a century,
Beginning the long human race
For many more empires to be.

Thanks to the Emperor Sargon,
The new game of empires was on.
