New member
the treacherous kiss
the rings of kings
as minstrels sing
coded words of treason
the lyrics must please him
until the appointed season
and place
the king's disgrace
comes back on his head
wrapped in
blood stained satin
in lover's beds
screams of dread
fears left unsaid
by men who weep
and fools who keep
forgetting this lesson:
you can kill an oppresser
but you can't kill
oppression.
