In court I see the statesman nod when
Hearing assertions from their latest Sovereign, All I say: they love it; my range of puppets, I pull their strings And I’ll never equip them with a blade to cut with. Even though my eminence is hereditary I sometimes detest the lengths it pesters me, But I’m thankful for a full bank, & absence from my own subjects of peasantry Upon whom I easily pull rank, I love the food here, Though I’ve no kids with which to piece the delicious fish, Only assorted women in a chamber who’d never clean a kitchen dish, But it isn’t all joy, between the several mistresses’ I’ve to make a public appearance in ephemeral instances; Every quarter I oversee meetings of federal businesses, & these days I often consult the exceptional physicist For a progress report on objects of more armament, As war is a conquest that I just haven’t conquered yet. Fuck God & his Pastor, I’m the King, I’ll bring rapture, I need to assert my dominance as an actual factor Over the neighboring earth that’s ominous, He who mocks my visage will be coerced to honor it, The sanest logic is to increase the rate of homage Without my nation’s knowledge, by decree I’ll raise the squalid underclass to sustain the military force, Conscript convicts - strike first - & have this hostility fought. ________________________________________________ I break my back in fields in spite of a blatant lack of yield, Its days like these I struggle to show my wife an act of zeal, She still smells saccharine but thin lips insist a bitter taste, See lust fizz away; facing four kids stood up on dinner dates. Can’t seem to caress her neck with calloused hands… …& these kids never listen to me, a bereft & passive man. Well, I should be thankful I was even left or granted land I think, I sink in potato liquor, steadied by dead imbalanced plans. You barely yearn if you’re cynical when earnings are minimal, Some learn to be miserable, for me? From birth it was literal. But I do not ask for pity in this shitty existence, I get by, it isn’t pretty - it’s life with a different insistence. Even in tiny lodgings my family feels estranged, I pray to mighty God when lost: that appeal’s ingrained. Though I have my doubts about a veracious Savior, I’m not half as favored While doing thrice as much as my ‘neighbors’ labor. I guess I came from lower stock, sure I’m to pay the nobles more without knowing what for! Fuck…I might as well have sold the plot, Yet adding my blood & 10 square meters equals all I’ve got. So I’ll fight for it, & provisions, with my limited strength, That home’s where my heart is, but I couldn’t visit again. |
