Off With Their Filthy Heads

Off With Their Filthy Heads Should one dare oppose the arrogant kings cry out with pride so it soundly rings Stand with sweet honor, our hat in hand fight corruption in this freedom's land Those that say nay are simply afraid going against the massive power laid What power, have any over the Soul death is always the unavoidable toll A man walks his very own selfish path bringing on misery and darkened wrath Why not step off that selfish trail avoid the sending one deep into Hell Every king served a spiritual master bad deed brought judgment ever faster Yet having power over life and death was a stone choking their every breath Shall you be stalwart and honor true let your gentle heart judge only you Leave others to see your honoring him or walk blindly with their light so dim Should one dare oppose the arrogant kings cry out with pride so it soundly rings Stand with sweet honor, our hat in hand fight corruption in this freedom's land Yes, we dare to oppose those tyrant Kings Slay them , give that filthy crown a fling Off their heads with true justice abated justice the goal never with vengeance hated! Robert J. Lindley, 05-06-2015 Note: The term "King" is used to denote great power and not necessarily royalty in its usual interpretation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Woke up and wrote this about 3 am this morning. Had refused to write it when earlier inspired that day. I tell you, my muse is one very forceful and stubborn ruler!

Thanks for commenting my friend. You are correct, that is exactly the subject of the poem. As here in the USA we seem to have a new kind of royalty ruling over us in contemptuous and utter disregard of our Constitution and the Rule of Law....... What is worse, an ignorant populace that praises the new king..
