Iceberg

A couple
Of centuries
Had passed
Since
The 
French revolution
A deadly
End
Of Dukes
And IV, V, …, IX series
It led
To an un-healthy
Pregnancy
That delivered
A heavy
Industrialized
Spots
On a few
Icebergs.

The bourgeois
Before
Passing
The entire
Royal
Family
Through
The guillotine
Before
Over-throne
A long lasting
Duke’s 
Era
Did not miss
An old wisdom
That
An iceberg
May hide
Their history
But not 
The future.
One day
It will brake 
Apart
And melt away
And it is 
Wise
Before then
To look
For better
Land 
before 
the iceberg
completes
its long lasting
evolution,
revolution,
and melt away

see,
Is not important
Being Duke
Or
Blue blood
Bourgeois
As long as
It feeds 
The 
Evolution
Of the 
Coming little
Bourgeois
To dream 
Like Dukes
Sleep 
Like Dukes
Eat like the 
Blue blood
Bourgeois
