The House of Lords

THE HOUSE OF LORDS I am from The House of Lords where men are great and women are whores. I am travelling to the home front to inform my country that war is to come. Our rivals are jealous of our fortune. They sent a woman because their attention becomes grave. I am sharing this with my fellow women for solidarity and support. I must bring honor to The House of Lords. Cohesion is the militia. We all aimed to a common cause. We know our men are our strength; therefore, we must morally espousal. I come to empower. We will write to enrich and advocate for corroboration. In that we fight for our self-worth, Let us henceforward. We will stand in the piazza. We will speak in our clearest voice. We will bring insight through our performance. This will be an enjoyable time for all. However, when the time comes, we must declare war. I came to home front for stratagem. Our military are strategic women and men. Insofar, we know when. The House of Lords is foreshadowing a liberated country for its inhabitants. Our conflict is with those hostilities because of our affluence. We are their weakest point. For that reason, we know that warfare is to come. |___________________________________________| Penned December 05, 2014!

The reference to women as whores at the beginning confused the narrative for me, can you explain. Is the strength the women bring that of a sexual offering? Is it the thought of returning to this pleasure that causes them to fight and win??

Rick, because we have honorable men we love satisfying their utmost desires. Therefore, you are correct about female support. The storyline could not be written in this context without wealth. Thanks for your visit and awesome response. Verlena
