The Serpent
The Serpent
I felt the hand of history press heavy on my mind,
To remind me of who I was in all of this,
But the serpent who stood with me, made me leave this all behind.
And for a shilling I embraced the serpent’s kiss.
I knew that I betrayed my throne and all tradition here,
And I knew that history would write this down,
But the serpent who stood with me used her slime to interfere,
And she stole away my service to the Crown.
The jewels and the ermine were but tranquilments of life,
But they represented history to me upon my day,
Till the serpent saw my weakness and exploited all my strife,
And I wallowed in her slime and walked away.
And now the highest bidder will control my liberty,
For the serpent will endorse and advertise,
And the World of the Kardashian will rule who I will be,
As my pride disintegrates – before my eyes.
“God save the Queen”
