A dialogue
Rulers
“The written verse
Of great men
The traverse of
Dark den
Dungeon and raids
And pretty maids
Elegant advances
Many winning chances”
People
“The woes and worries
The late and hurries
Tolls and mums
The screams and bombs”
Ruler
“The charging horses
Is royal catharsis
The shining swords
The upbraiding bards
The art of war
The wounds and scar
The rhythm in gait
The rhyme in fate “
People
“The worries of bread
Often me dread
Epidemics frighten
And are stricken
Like a gold fish
Without any wish
Walking like dead
Bowing our head”
Ruler
“The conquerors the bold
With spoon gold
Born to rule
O the folk fool”
You demand loaf
You demand roof”
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
A dialogue of realities, black and white realities indeed, very well worded.
I can relate to this work. Very astute in observation, yet without condoning violence. It is positive in it's message of a ruling class who sees the crumbs they offer as feed for the animals.
The gap between have and have not beautifully depicted in ur poem............Good Write...
Dialogue is an integral part of the world. It goes on untill the union with the One. CP
Two different views, what they want and what they desire. very effectively depicted in this poem.
Rulers are rulers coz' people are scared and scattered.When they won't be scared for life, their children and anything, then it will be crusade.Rulers only rule until the end where and when a crusade and a renaissance starts.Rules are not forever.It is only love that rules.Anything else is shortlived or history of representations that is hated about a tyrannic ruler or as puerile as anything.Overall yiur representations for deadly and dreaded are good.
The game played by the ruler and the people was written in a very nice poetic structure...sarcasm in the end as a laughing phrase...nice! ! !
