The Peasants’ Revolution
Rise Against the Dragon
Peasants fear and revere the Dragon
For his gold and food stores are massive
They are unaware of how they feed his stash
Through their hard work—blood, sweat, and tears
It is their daily tribute
That keeps his treasure swelling
As he hoards away all that they’ve earned
And use their rulers and knights
To keep them in line
***
Rise! Rise!
Rise, peasants!
Rise above the Dragon’s might!
Take back what is rightfully yours
Use it to build the utopia
That you can feel is just out of reach
Use it for your health, your wellbeing, your life
And let the Dragon find his own way to thrive
Not off the backs of others
But on his own four feet
***
Rise! Rise!
Rise, peasants!
Take up arms against your knights and kings!
They are but the Dragon’s puppets
Push them aside and you will see
Their coffers have been filled
With your spoils as well
***
Rise! Rise!
Rise, peasants!
It is time to reclaim your lives
To reclaim that for which you toil
To use it for the betterment of your society
To fly out of the grips of poverty
On the wings of the Dragon
***
Feel that, Dragon?
That chill down your spine?
It is the winds of change—
The Peasants’ Revolution is near
