So Deceiving the Crown

3nd3r_Dr4g0nt

The king largess his goods,

Giving them to all the neighborhoods.

But beware for he is beguiling,

There is no kindness when he is smiling.

 

He gives bread to the needy hands,

feeding them the fat of the land.

But while the children wear rags

He has the finest silk for his bags.

 

The king may claim he is for the people

But beware his words for he is evil.

He cares not for you and me

He'll cut us short, all for his greed

    A word of warning that power is not to be trusted but has ulterior motives and good seen may be for the good of the ruler
