Pawns,Kings,and Me

By LOKI

The world is a masquerade
and they all have their masks
They hide behind them everyday
So ordinary
So strange

Funny how they look at me
like Im a peasant and obsolete
In their eyes Im nothing
and I am weak
Yet they dare not
to test my strength

Know your place
they say to me
Your just a pawn
Amongst us kings
But Im no pawn
nor am I a king
Im what they fear
I am Me

    What! You dare to deny the superiority of the masterminds! The peasant gall that oozes from your base beating heart and minimal mind is pathetic - Loved this one LOKI, thanks!

    A pawn among kings. I loved the concept of your work. This mind set has set the bar for socialism for decades. You are what we tell you to be because we are above you. A test of strength and fear of rebellion. A classic tale. Thanks for the read!
