Heads Will Roll

Heeding the call for the death of nobility
Each will teach another 
And soon rocks will fly like
Dying birds in the 
Sky

Win or lose the King
Is bound to
lose his
life

Round heads and towheads and bowed heads
On down
loving the kiss, the
lick of the guillotine

I loved the ending of this poem - rather eerie and a little twisted - great job & God Bless
