World of Kings

5-7-5 ....a small monstrosity

In a world of Kings
protection and trust shall reign.
Unmask the charade.

Author's Note

I'm singin' in the reign....

There have been good kings and bad kings throughout history...but at least in a monarchy one can always hope the next king might be a person of dignity and grace. In our democracy, it's just two sides of a double-faced coin...it doesn't matter if a democrat or republican is elected (funny how we call it a democracy and there are only two parties that stand a chance; both bought and paid for by big business) there is no change. Obama got elected on the promise of "change"...I've yet to see any change. He won't get elected again. Bush was in for two terms only because we feared getting someone worse...how THAT could be possible with all the freedoms and liberties he stomped on is pretty unimaginable. Just one liar after another is all we get in America. Maybe we DO need a king.

I am blissfully amazed at how you can take just 13 words and weave this royal world, in shadows and sunlight... Love your note too! Keep singing... :)

and when unmasked..behind the king..a queen with a bad attitude.
We are, as kings, all full of s**t. So by unmasking that royalty and the false protection, we are seen for what we really are.
