[bodytext] => In this the morning sun, I set forth my reign in the lands of the damned. Walking with head held high, as the royalty in blankets huddle in the corner lots. We are the stained blue bloods, born noble with no kingdom to own. From street rats to knights, the quest to stay alive. Chivalry has been lost on the walking dead. A man lays victim to the abuse as the commoners believe they are the higher courts. Puppets playing court jesters, making us believe that the common vote decides the fate of the rest. Forced slavery in cheap knockoff child labored clothes. All to hold ones nose to avoid the stink of the fallen mind. Senses lost on the aroma of arrogance that radiates from their own righteous. Is a person beyond another by the blood chosen by another. Are we not all royalty in the game of life and death. We have climbed from the lowest of mud to let others set themselves high in walls made from that same substance. While we forget whose hands built these kingdoms. Kings and queens is all I see. The beauty in the beggars eyes, to the eye that cannot look at that same in the face. We are all great, all rulers in our worlds. The power to raise another in the simplest of smiles. Ability to be as magnificence as the same as your sisters and brothers. Let us take our life created crown. Our strength is in our numbers. Our heights are as far as we imagine them to be. One percent be damned. We are the people. And our chains are only devised by the dollar. Divine in our creation, nobility in our apathy. Let our voices ring out. For tomorrow we can be free.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
