Illusions of Power in the Tower

There is a most

assured

mendacity,

a strikingly

warped

tenacity

with which

those

in the

Tower

who fancy

they have

Power

hang on

prolong

deceive

delay,

forestall,

their

hasty leave,

lost pay

inevitable fall.

 

So pleasant

in the

Davis Palace

sipping from

The Chalice

while

deceptive

tranquility

induces

imbecility

even as

the masses

penetrate

the passes

to remove

royalty

who imagined

loyalty

from those

whom they

abused

but

before whom

they now

stand

accused.

 

And thus

those of

ephemeral

authority

yield to the

permanent

majority

and leave

their illusions

of Power

in the Tower

now occupied

by those they

tried to

delude

but

could not

forever

elude.
