Of Kings and Queens

Every shogun nation wanna be in war visor control Commandeer the missile steering wheel, be the king of the road Likewise, imperial power lust eyes wanna be the top wing of the hive Taste all the money honey they see ... rule in monarch luxury as a rogue queen bee Those choo-choo Charlies and Charlizes wanna own all the golden tracks underneath their silvery tone loco-motives Fear is the best power train to haul a cargo of hate ... nitro-oxy fueled by fiery, coal-hearted jeers Caesar coins in a slot brain opens the security gate Let scoundrel squatters steal the best years Covetous breach babies squealing brass ring sobs so mean Pompous platinum wavy cries blown by Midas lung kings and queens Their golden overflow promises drip molasses slow As they drink deep the sweet nectar reward on a rapid de-Nile flow Sacrificing pawns’ sweat and blood, labor grievances drowned in a flood Cent-ipede feet swept off the chessboard, reign heads dryly issue policy morgues Lamb prey jaws of wolf kings and fox queens strip the bankrupt bones clean Lamprey thoughts of craven monarch eels got parasitic hungering As ash-blue tears of Red minnow pauper children pay the bills Grisly yen acquisition kings and queens wanna pander bear rule over everything Global coronation of serpent stings, set to profit poison the planet green
