The Myth of Avalon

You are like the myths of Avalon where tales of justice reign like Kings the counsels of virtue together rings where impartial judgment does belong but these are tales not so true where those who rule afflict the poor rob even crumbs from off their floor malfeasance practiced what they do What did the noblemen supply but rape the peasant law his alibi where starving children heard his cry Noblesse oblige was just a lie Where tyranny of rank did draw class distinctions were the law death and violence history saw predators talons ripped like claw Where the counsels of the court were just aristocratic sport where truth and justice did abort peasants could not afford the tort yet some would hold these fairytales the myths of history that lies regales fabrication cloaks and mindless fails that these myths whats true assails tales of myth and fancy COPYRIGHT © 2011 C.
