Poem
The prince loves his princess and their guillotine It came at a handsome price but that’s alright Stars and moons are laid before her majesty Heads roll when she lifts her dainty finger Of course a palace complete with moat and fleet of carriages Are added to their cause through strict taxation And beheadings are in season So says the majesties The kingdom population must learn to love the royals Die for them without delay Regal matters call for such sacrifices So stretch the necks, pray and say good-by Decapitations are the order of the day His lordship and lady require your property as well Compliance with their wishes is deemed correct Her ladyship hates the poor and all they stand for Common folk are not real people after all A disease, common bugs in filthy clothes She deplores them for no reason, one and all They simply are beneath her, that’s all she knows Ugly creatures, born to meet the guillotine Inferior for being who they are In need of extermination with a single slice Natural selection and the royals have a common cure The lady adores no one other than herself Mirrors placed about the palace testify Vacant stares illuminate her image like a super star for hours The prince by her side, both glowing in raw power Happy in each other’s plans for more than just romance The poor must never know what’s up when blade comes down It would tarnish the regal blush and glow And heavenly beams reflecting from their halos They are more than simple prince and princess But criminals in the making, living in excess Advancing to the throne through deaths Killing peasants on a whim as they progress Subjects learn to love their rulers Torture and theft is how to keep the peace Release the poor from properties and life In one clean sweep, heads rolling on the castle keep Fear holds people down in social order Wealth and happiness must be maintained Prince and princess love themselves above all others They have no complaints The church and state though disagreed Placed bounties on their heads For crimes against humanity and vanity The royals will get their final wish To stay together; egos, beauty and all Not within the kingdom walls, but outside the boundaries Dangling in the wind, blessings from the pope Government approved rope to help them swing Hanging side by side for all their sins Close to the cemetery Blowing regally in all their majesty Outside the royal limits of propriety
