The Minstrels

A poem about rulers over a populace.

 

Come they I see

 

And their minstrels

 

Plunging forward into madness

And their venom,

 

Human maelstrom bears

And their weapon's wrath

 

Effete residue of ethereal reason

And their spoils

 

Plummeting backward into vassal's winter

And into subservient nothingness
