The Siege of Power and Glamour


The strong stand The weak strand The mighty conquer The weak falters Sovereigns rise Beguiling many with a price Multitudes veil them with praise Until regret downs the face Oppression and regression Poverty and degradation A loud cry is heard in all directions "Oh! What have we done to our nation" "How good it is to be king to be clad in glamour and golden rings to swim in riches all my days" He ecstatically says There is no need for tears For a time will near When a chance will be presented To erase the wrong indented Oh decrepited nation, how FOOLISH! To hold the man's coronation Who caused your every indignation And led to a total miscoordination How forgetful you must be To efface the evil he brought to being Truly, the future Lies in every human creature
