Publican Offenders
Copper robbers ... penny-ante coin collectors
Duly appointed by Caesar Cersei,
deputized purse snatchers
Modern day publicans holding the money bag,
appointed bean counters
being levy
abacus austere
Placing palm heavy fines on the people
of the Iron throne realm,
keeping them usury chained to the crown
Pence pawns of mother Jezebel the whore queen
Mint minions
issuing inordinate, sterling pound penalties
of cent cruel, tender mercy
Tax overseers ~ Publican offenders
with the Judas touch
In
Revenue
Service
of Her Majesty Caesar Cersei
A despicable daughter, who don’t
charitably care much
Unctuous underlings of her utterly impotent kings;
spike collar cuckold,
they fetch the coins, arrears arresting
Paper officers who love pressing the thumb down ...
turning the thumb down
to the default grace petition of the working poor
Pay up ... or else, eviction notice nailed to the door!
Publican offenders —
New Republic of Rome receipt rebels
hold the oppressing power of the purse
Delivering debt dominion over the downtrodden
Caesar Cersei’s pennywise parakeets,
with the plundering peck, green plumage hand
Got a robber baron Balaam wingspan
overshadowing every gilded, golden amber land
