Hero King

Once upon a time holly loosely based upon a true story There was a man who shall be called Lord Mountbatten / Battenberg A true Hero in every sense of the word Or so we all we're and have been told 1 part German somewhat British like his father before him Who now looking back upon reflection truth now be eventually able to be told The fact's don't seem to bare out what we were in fact told to believe and make of him Because what he in fact seemed to be was this A man who rose to the lofty position of Admiral despite the fact he crashed 3 ship's and cost countless lives Who ingratiated himself through any means into the grace's of the upper echolocation of royalty and polite society in order to service his agenda Who resided over partition which the losses and aftermath are still being counted till today Orchestrated the introduction and marriage of his nephew Phillip to Queen Elizabeth And dropped his lifelong childhood friend the King in waiting for his brother when he abdicated In retrospect not fit to even be granted so much as an audience in or with such company in fact sullies their good name and reputation Unlike a man who through his deed's and actions saved 2 million plus lives and shortened the war by breaking the Enigma code Who unlike him was not repaid with numerous honours and titles bestowed on him in recognition of his contribution But instead was chemically castrated berated and worst of all suffered the indignation of being hidden and wiped from history altogether At least now it's finally left up for prosperity and history to decide with all the facts placed clearly clarified on display Who is fit to be called a Hero King in all but Reginal name
