Another Variant of King Richard

Eugene S.

Oh how great a thing
Royalty
Or so I am told

With a swinging swinger
Jested
Yet very very bold

On a night of winners
All Losing
What little control

A show of standards
Degrading
A sight to behold

Oh, look at the drama
Crying
Lies to be sold

    'Oh, look at the drama
    Crying
    Lies to be sold'..
    now mere, puppets
    to that pariah
    headline, bulletin machine...
    (I so relate and in some ways
    I think the beheaded French, may
    have had it easier
    at least it ended
    with one generation, for them
    where as this, day to day
    degradation
    is such a pathetic sight, to be hold
    although, I do feel for Elizabeth
    a stabling, anchor
    when all those macho, maggots around her
    do their best
    to bring it all down, on her Crown)
    thanks for sharing, dear poet

      I guess there have been degrading scandals throughout history, so there should be no surprises, but, like you said, they just can't stop themselves from sending it all downhill. Nevertheless, thanks for reading!
