Louis' neck in the guillotine
CEOs glean much from this scene
Selfish as ever
These kings mean and clever
Make their steely getaways clean...

Brimming with happiness or always dour?
Prancing, living with gaiety
Or waiting for a guillotine 
Now standing forever to scour?...

But expressed his opinions out loud

By the will of the King

He braved the guillotine 

So now he heads off into the crowd...

crazy French revolution 'heroes'

 Nor the Common Brute, Nor the Thieves Of Liberty

 So release the Guillotine, Freedom Is A Universal Right

The gallows were offered,
guillotine chosen

Executioner a matter
of choice

The sinner repentant,
evil now lessened

Death calls
—in a welcoming voice

those knots that wrench your gut belong to me
the terror in your eyes, yeah that's mine too
but soon my friend your death will set us free
when the guillotine severs you in two 
for heinous crimes against humanity

King of France to Marie Antoinette:
My future looks awfully bleak. I suspect
I’ll soon be headed for the guillotine. 
“Mon chère: forgive my correction
on your use of the wrong preposition.
It’s not “FOR” but “BY” the guillotine.”

Marie Antoinette
                                                  Quite the coquette.
                                                Beautiful French queen,

Gathering by her western gates: jovial....
Their babies while arriving; this sought after
Day and desperation beginning to show his face     
Biospiritual warfare namby-pamby's, pass waterloo ?
Jupiter's, rising swift the pendulum time's guillotine: delta....

Heeding the call for the death of nobility
Each will teach another 
And soon rocks will fly like
Dying birds in the 
Sky

Win or lose the King
Is bound to
lose his
life

Round heads and towheads and bowed heads
On down
loving the kiss, the
lick of the guillotine...

The Sun; a guillotine.
With its giant convex blade of light
Slicing through my skull
Eyes first
At 186,282 miles per second.

My floaters explode
Like ejaculant;
Smashing and spattering
Outward
All over the white hole oversoul.

“Tag!” Says the Sun.

“You’re it!”...

When you try to shove, what you yourself can't even prove, down a MF's throat. 

When you slap some sap in the guillotine, for doing something you once did, thirty times a month, merely months ago.

Streets love desperation
Somewhere old awakenings
visit the future

This world is failing
Our time unsure…

For the guillotine

Wrapped in blood…in tears

Just waiting for the world
to mock my severed life...

The prior king with no good reason

Guilty of commiting treason

His circumstance so seldom seen

Is facing now the guillotine

Things needed to prevent our fall

Are laws that should affect us all

The one so good at dodging curves

Will get the fate that he deserves...

The Queen
Has caffeine,
A great cuisine,
And nothing in between.
Her name is Colleen,
With her middle name Jean.
She has a daily routine,
And eats a tangerine.
This isn't the best scene,
But there's a guillotine.
Off with their head and spleen.
Now Parliament can reconvene....
