Hollow Thrones

Hollow Thrones Death and destruction reigning in filth over dry bones kings ruling over weaker souls with little hope, drowned deep, cast overboard loaded with misery stones unmercifully hung with no justice and short rope So proudly the kings rule over subjects so very poor no concept of the natural rights of mortal man, having power , treasure and selfish desires by the score completely unconcerned with life's ever so brief span Shallow pleasures lusted without thought of coming reward stolen time and freedoms from more deserving souls, unmindful of the many stolen lives so desperately scarred judgment awaiting in deeply unforgiving , darkened holes Reigns of tyranny reaped as bushels of rotten fruits while spirit raping of better women, children, and men, falsely rewarded homage paid from wickedly evil roots soon to be given eternity in their evil Master's den Robert L. 05-25-2014 Read a book this morn on the great Empires long since destroyed, with more of the same always filling the void.... Mankind simply refuses to ever learn...
