Poetry

Commonwealth

written by: PhoenixSix

Scrounging on the floor, to find my eyes
To put back into my head, through the lies
And the flies, and the heads of pigs
Dividing us again, covered beneath wigs
Powdered in excellence, color of purity
Writing the final words to the traitors eulogy

They told me I had a lot to say
They told me I'd be king someday
Adorned with a crown, above a frown
And I threw the jewels to the side, and
Yelled, 'Royalty is nothing to confide in!

I don't want to be king, or even human me
I don't want to be alive if I can't be free'

You can't drive the system off course
Driven since the days of the horse
Carrying your savings into another bank
Bought up privately for machine of war
Like the gun and the tank, and flank guns lined
In front of me, the path to the divine

I've never seen it so much clearer
