The Highborn

Something I wrote about civil unrest in medivael times, when the ruling class treated the peasents like animals.


The Highborn

The truth of all is small to some

Head a 'tilted, shoulders a 'splay.

The hardship of most is lost on this host

Soft hands, Cold laughter

Resound and reflect forever, Hereafter.

Why should we wait, to accept our fate?

Hands from tools to throttle these fools

Safe haven is gone with

The Death of the high

Temptations of power, we no longer cower

Swords a 'swiping, everyone's dying

New ruling class, cheating, lying

It's all the same, nothings been gained

Soldiers walk with hand to weapon

A great unrest, the highborn detest

The cycle begins again

War, Power, death and life.

Our lives absorbed in one big fight

We've lost our souls, lost the light

On the path to freedom

The highborn rule in our minds.
