This kingdom is doomed
its old king is deaf
also totally blind
his council too is deaf & blind
they choose not to see
the cracks on the wall
they refuse to hear the cries
of the people that gave them legitimacy
They are busy listening to an
obnoxious music of power
their eyes only see a false rainbow
while their perceived power
is gradually being
consumed
by the arrogance of borrowed time
of momentary control
as they get consumed by their wickedness.
