The 8th King
Then...
Septet World Powers gave inception to
Its scarlet color speaking from seven heads
Designed to duplicate the league from which it began
And...to that end we will adhere to its specifications
Until submission becomes what is forced upon us
This Jah sides with what is deemed as ours
Bowing turned toward his vision
Indifferent to the tune of government factions
Now...
That act then bow turned toward its image
Or what is supposed to be mass-produced safety
Through syllogistic obscurity their dynasticism suggests
At best meanings which leave confusion
Because When and only when
This weakling chooses to crack
Splatter and crash separate fact from apprehension
Anatomizing a losing battle
Where sovereignty chooses the wrong hemisphere.
