magistrates and majesties survive

well below the truths that are found in prose.

next to the structure of words

crowns can be found with limits in scope.

and divine authority? well, that’s just a joke.

the pen has always been mightier than sword

as it controls the many, and that as a matter of fact,

cannot be ignored. yes, indeed, presidents and prime ministers

may all thrive under the guise of biblical text

but that is only because if they say differently

a radical may randomly come for their neck.

but it is still safe to say, monarchs, rulers, and leaders alike

are all bound to the will of the people.

do you see now how this makes sense?

okay, now go ahead ask me

what happens next,

when written words become nothing but lies?

simple. magistrates and majesties survive
