The Royalty Around our Necks
The King
He sold his soul
She seduced him
Showed him advantage
Superiority
How to be better than-
His brother.


The Queen
The Devil goes by many names
Serpent
Woman
Man
But in this story
He is
Power.
The Peasant
So where does that leave us?
Hungry,
Yearning,
Powerless,
Impotent,
The Devil commands
The King follows.
The peasant is squeezed.
The king
And yet,
He didn't just sell his soul,
He sold his loins,
Castrated himself in the name of,
Freedom-
Engorged on viagra, cialis, blue chew
End
Would you bring a child into this world?
The irony is
You cant anyway
