№ 511: Off The People, Buy The People, Gore The People

The Divine Right of Kings
is one of those things.
If you are king
you are for it.
If you are not,
you deplore it.

If you are a noble
with your own castle
opposing the king
may be a hassle
but it is well-known
nobles are prone
to killing kings
and stealing thrones,
gaining renown,
their names written down
as Cæsars of kingdoms
and stealers of crowns.

If you're a peasant,
your life is not pleasant,
you have to toil
working the soil.
A man of no season,
who can't feel fulfilled
and nobody notices
when you get killed.
