The Crumbling Empire

by Keg - Leo

Here stood the mighty and all powerful Empire
conqouring the far reaches of the globe.
From the eastern plains 
to the western straights
It stood proud!

Rulers with charm and awe
stood at these very gates
ruling the crowd
wearing their riches and shrowds
They stood proud.

Repressive in nature and ruthless with law
destroying all who stood in their way
With blood stained steal
That would not heal
Victorious they were.

So what came to their downfall?
A small group of determined men
dedicated to their cause
against the repressive regime.
They fought in fierce glory
They challenged without no shame
And sure enough, word was spread
of their vast gains
against the reigme.
And action intensified
strengthened in numbers
The power began to fade.

So, here stood the almighty empire
now shattered and decayed
ruins in flame
exposed to shame.
It died, hooray!

Reason for writing:

    Again, more anti- establishment poetry
