Out of time

little thing i wrote in class

Three seconds left

With the dawn of a new age

The kingdom falls upon its corrupt knees

Clinging to its last hope

 

Two seconds left

The aged man draws in his last breath

His goblet fall from his failing grasp

And clatters upon his golden throne

 

One second left

The revolutionaries storm the castle

Their leader stands tall

Watching the chaos with his one grey eye

 

No seconds left

The children sleep peacefully

In their soft beds

None the wiser of the changes beyond their doors
