Be Royal
Declare yr funky royalty
To the unfazed stars,
Though yr atomic nothingness
A dot on the Milky arms.
Nevertheless, be blue blood royal!
Make speeches from turrets!
Be a Pharoah on the Nile
Reading edicts from papyrus!
Be Royal
Like a child declaring bedtime
Should be an hour later,
Like a poet declaring what rhymes,
Be a pedantic dictator!
Don’t these monarchs look like toddlers,
Itchy in ermine capes?
Pleading to buttling coddlers
To help make good their escapes?
Be Royal
Still, you go and be a monarch,
Get yr ass up on that stage,
Whilst the dawn greets the skylark
Flying past yr golden cage.
Be Royal
