Rise up and tear down

Posted on 06/04/202606/04/2026 by admin

No fortification could hold back the tide
when rebellious voices raise aloud
the pretender burns in their funeral shroud.

The castle falls, no authority left to find
the auspices of freedom ringing proud.
No fortification could hold back the tide
when rebellious voices raise aloud.

Wars cease, peace dawning through “regicide”
as “kings” fall to the wayside disavowed
the people free from from a maddening crowd.
No fortification could hold back the tide
when rebellious voices raise aloud
the pretender burns in their funeral shroud.
