This is the end

King

bringing out the guillotine today 

I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong 

I thought more was better 

 

but my advisors 

they say 

reach to far, fall off the chair 


can I convince them the chair instead?

it’ll be a spectacle!

fireworks! food! drinks! 

let this occasion for the people! 

even as gruesome as any sacrifice 

be celebrated and not mourn 

 

because here I thought 

we were having a good time 

wait I have an idea! 

In my country! 

I ban, effective immediately 

violence

    Violence is a good thing to ban if anything is to be banned. Well written
