Poem

Flightless Birds Trapped In A Gilded Cage.
.
Fledgling innocents incarcerated in a gilded ornate cage
Budding pretty flowers 
Within the blossoming of youth
Of tender sensitive age
. 
Born into an imperial dynasty
By destiny and decree 
A view from a palace window
To the outside world
Was all they’d often see
Far from the peasant underclass
Living in the gutter of poverty
.
Each one an individual
With different varied traits
With nothing but love in their tender hearts
For they’re parents
Unaware of their countries fate
.
Ripples of unrest and anger
Soon turned into waves of hatred
For a seemingly
Uncaring despondent regime
Toward the Tzar the affluent nobility 
And the withdrawn empress Queen
. 
The hungry angry peasants revolted
And stormed the palace gates
And for the Royal family
There was no escape
.
Sewing precious jewels inside their clothing
They were forced to leave their comfortable dwelling
And taken prisoners to a place far away
Where they tried to make the best
Of life in where they had to stay
.
Unsure of their fate lost in fantasy and dreams
The revolutionist planned their fate and schemed
One day they were taken to a cellar 
And told they were about to die
They must have been terrified
And no doubt
Screamed and cried
. 
Shots were fired at the family
And many bullets ricocheted
Bouncing of the clothing 
Where the jewels wee hidden away
But eventually blood was spilled
Sending the family to an early grave
.
