The Queen Seated high atop a gilded seat, in self righteous indignation Ensconced with pride and great conceit Looks down upon her nation Thinking: How lowly and reviled you are, rushing to and fro kicking up the dust and dirt that tickles her upturned nose What you do - matters not and who you are - even less for all are here for her contempt and to excuse here ignorance Crowing: I'm the only one who knows the only one who sees what you should and should not do and who you ought to be Full of her lies and trivial beliefs judging everyone's mistakes breaking hearts and dashing hopes She's enjoying the ruin she makes With scathing eyes and sharpened tongue she tilts her head back in conceit Sadly for her she misjudges her worth and promptly loses her seat The moral and the purpose of this sad and humbling story... to relay a tale of ignoble fame and the path of misplace glory Crown neither arrogance as queen nor distain as lord and master Take a lesson from fallen grace lest you reap the same disaster Do not applaud and sing your songs for vanity laid low for this story ends itself the same as most reigns go The Queen is dead... Long live the Queen If I don't say it...who will? |

Right on! Do they say that anymore.  Loved this part, and you wrote of all the Queen bees in this world really well. They usually do reap what they sow.Crown neither arrogance as queen nor distain as lord and master Take a lesson from fallen grace lest you reap the same disaster Obviously even at my age, we have Queens. |

Thank you Mysteria! This piece was actually a part of my final project for my literature class. We were randomly and annonomously given the names of others in class and had to create a story, poem, allogry, etc. with them as the focus. No names were used but we kept trying to guess who everyone got. It was a lot of fun! If I don't say it...who will? |
