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
