Dignity


The scheme of dignity lies within

Wide walls of robes of silk and gold

Of lusted clothing built by pride

Ostentation at its finest

Conferred by matriarchs

Of the adultrated human hearts

They wove magic, appealing so

A foolish ruler gawked in stupor

Refusing common sense and wit,

He wore his pride, and and crown on his head

To prove his grand scheme of dignity
