Sandcastles
Kings and Queens choose those to die
A game of thrones perched on high
What new tactics will they try
Sandcastles up in the sky
Monarchs laugh while peons cry
We bow down when they walk by
Then we sit and wonder why
Sandcastles rule you and I
Trumpets sound and eagles soar
Signaling the tides of war
Nations fall when lions roar
Sandcastles forever more
Shadows cast on darkened door
The meek can't see what's in store
All their blood will stain the floor
No sandcastles for the poor
