Figurehead

Had a bumpy year?

my heart bleeds

but I think a lot of people have my dear

they can't run and hide

when they please

to a sanctuary

a palace estate

they can’t outrun the disease

or delay their fate

Let's raise a toast

to the inbred figureheads

reminders of bloodshed

in their names

to claim new lands

an empire of the dead

Surround yourself with questionable detestables

two princes

too close

to paedophiles

makes you question

those ruling our nation

You glorify in our lowest hours

as poor die in shoddy towers

workers, slaves to the system

forced to accept the worst conditions

the rich and ruthless

leave the homeless

roofless in a ditch

workers begging to eat

when wages don’t make ends meet

and yet, we are to cry

for our money figurehead

postal stamp spearhead

Raise a glass

as we the underclasses

worship those who are beyond the law

like kings and queens

we are mere jokers to them,

nothing but worker ants, a herd of cattle

struggling against the shackles

nothing but monopoly money for the elite

to fritter away, in their palatial retreats

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
