Pity the Fallen

An Ekphrastic Sonnet

You mortals love the valiant resistance

Those who oppose the tyrant's iron will

Instantly win your willing assistance

Join me, if you have a moment to kill

I know I have a bad reputation

You really ought to consider the source

Recall the origins of your nation

Was it not wrestled from a king by force?

I defied the father of all fathers

Don't you want to smash the patriarchy?

When my mischief the uptight boss bothers

Don't you secretly laugh along with me?

You know how painful a great fall can be

Can your heart spare the devil some pity?
