The Darker Side Of Camelot

Kurt Philip Behm

Reigning in his own demise,

the alcoholic stumbles

 

Falling from the ramparts high,

hard upon the ground

 

A monarchy of lost regret,

in anger’s shame he crumbles

 

Trapped inside a broken dream

—heartache’s thorny crown

    'A monarchy of lost regret,
    in anger’s shame he crumbles

    Trapped inside a broken dream'..
    yeah, I too agree - that
    supposedly heroic tale, (whichever version)
    has a lot of egotistically - warped
    bad decision making, staining its plot
    and its portrayal of love, from
    all three key characters
    reaks: of selfishness and greed...
    (a wonderful read, thanks for sharing Kurt)
