Conflagration
And So The World Turns With A Spark
Abdicate without further ado
Beseech your old monarch
Cowardice drips off of him like
Detritus on a dying wood
Emboldened has our future leader become
From far she has traveled
Gone are the days of silence and chicanery
Hallowed are these halls and parapets
In this palace that was once splendid and a perfect
Juxtaposition for a chaotic world
Kalopsia riddled minds of addled councilors
Lamenting the past when things were skewed in their favor
Memento mori, gentlemen;
Now cometh a reaper for thee
Obliterate what no longer serves us, the people
Polemic revived and upheld, we have spoken
Quiet is the sufferance, and loud is the
Revolution
Sirenize the masses to the plight,
Tonight with the moon they shall rise
Until the dawn of a new era has shone its light
Verily, we have become inevitable in our union
Wax poetic all you may like
Xenoliths strike through within the old regime,
Your time is up
Zeitgeists never live forever - abandon the throne.

I am a graduate student studying anthropology and have been writing creatively for almost 20 years. I love new takes on alternative history, especially when there are fantasy or supernatural elements included.
