CEMETERY OF KINGS
Just in time to see
the king drop to his knees.
Clinging to his brothers robe
choking on his plea.
Leg's spread open wide
wearing a lustful smile.
The queen welcomes her husband's death
and waits for who's next in line.
One by one they come
Covering the sun.
The ravens lead the dragon in
over a corrupt kingdom.
I the jester sing
of all the death I've seen.
The snow on stone covers forgotten names
in this cemetery of kings.
the king drop to his knees.
Clinging to his brothers robe
choking on his plea.
Leg's spread open wide
wearing a lustful smile.
The queen welcomes her husband's death
and waits for who's next in line.
One by one they come
Covering the sun.
The ravens lead the dragon in
over a corrupt kingdom.
I the jester sing
of all the death I've seen.
The snow on stone covers forgotten names
in this cemetery of kings.

Your being the jester is striking! I like when there's a surprise perspective in a poem; brilliant!
