The kingdom is falling

By Steakfry15

I see a King & Queen who's kingdom is falling apart. No longer will the people bow to every whim. No longer will they lay silent when we turn our back on others. For this kingdom is a democracy yet the King wants a dictatorship. The commoners and some wealthy will take no part in it. The kingdom is building walls. This kingdom is shutting doors on victims. The kingdom flooded in greed and hypocrisy. They say we are the best but we aren't ranked #1. They say we are free but so are many other lands. They say we serve justice, although our own knights slay our people. In god we trust but not our government. Not the round table of wealthy coin-purses. This kingdom...is no kingdom of mine... but it can be. Let the people come together yet again like days of old. Let us start a new system. Lest we stay corrupted and divided.
