Again , I  battle my pride of position, the place where I sit upon my throne. The place I stand in my high and mighty fortress , overseeing my realm. Territories and  authorities all about us, lands full of  glory or disgrace. Ruling servants, arrogance on ones face or serving humbly; seeing it all as grace. We … More Positioning
