In the Soup, Ginger Crouton
Get out of the path of the king!
The galactic siren sounds,
and wails off the walls and down the hall.
It is his gentrification, his royalty, his vehemence
Pounding his fists like a verocious animal
His stately, royal, seething highness.
But as a king who in conflict falls
So too does he who covets all.
The pampered King in all his grandeur is stricken
Usurped
Expatiated
Dethroned
By the subjects he commanded
Or so he thought
But what command can one withdraw
When he's inclined to covet all
