if they will live long enough...
future queens sin in the grass under trees
wondering who they will marry...
lords and ladies dance to a silent minuet
hoping to finally hear the music...
peasants tend to the craps that belong to
the castle no knowing what to think...
palace guards bend at the knees letting
everyone know their allegiance...
scribes write down the laws and orators
remark on the opinions of others...
throngs on onlookers stand in the rain
hoping to see the royals...
history repeats itself but no one listens
life changes very litter for the participant
whose job it is to accept what they have.
