I was born on to an island where a monarchy exists
Never even given the choice to see if it fits
They put a flag in my hand told me stories so grand
With a programed belief they've been the savours of lands
They say they have a past that no longer holds true
Although hands of blood with always stay stained
Even when the ungovernable are governed by others hands
You don't represent me and its never in my name
The lessons from history just keep going on & on
When I look to the future I see nothing is ever the same as it was
I've never had traditions and don't plan to start
The only moment is the here & now, changing from the past
Letting go of what was earned by unnatural order
No privilege should be given over another soul
Until the others stop holding a few above the rest
More will continue to become unwilling subjects
This is not treason or a plot to blow anything up
I am a statement that choose to bend a knee to no one
As I'd never ask this from another unwilling human
This rant will never be over unless I see them in books or a museum.

- Comment from author about the poem: Being born at Royal Ascot hospital opposite the race course and close to Windsor Castle ment I was around alot of Royalist, I am passionate about this subject and will use every last breath in me to have more than a right to just disagree in words. Freedom with my feet in the dirt!

I follow the logic and I understand it is a disturbing concept. Being born in a republic I wouldn't know, but I wish you had explored more the emotion this creates on you. I think you could have made it a powerful piece, but I guess the subject is strong on its own.
Thank you so much and you are probably right, as I know family and friends that will be offended but I'll be honest I am just as much when they put them above others in this world. Its honestly can feel like they are under a spell...
Always appreciated
Keep up the write
Freedom is a hoax for the likes of us
Maybe my friend, as she "owns" all the land I stand on! But never my voice or opinions
Always appreciated
You have the royals, we have the movie stars! Unfortunately, there will always be some held above the rest, whether they deserve it or not.
I guess all we can do is live what we know.
Always appreciated
There will always be those allegedly above us but many are not better than us.
Absolutely I stand tall.
Always appreciated
Absolutely love the message Dan, speak your truth with the words from the brilliant mind of yours.
Thank you for the encouragement my friend, some definitely don't see it as brilliant 😉
Always appreciated
