'The Fall of Dominion'

The people fought back when the guilty went free,
And clashed with the mighty, the powers that be:
The underground worked as a perfect machine;
The uprise was brewing against king and queen!

Like a rock sitting strongly in fissure or crack,
It would know in its soul that it wouldn't go back:
Like a rock on a hill, pushed hard to go down,
And fall in a lake with naught choice but to drown.

The walls were destroyed, and the swarm flooded in,
The king tried to fool them, to hide his chagrin;
The paupers saw through the clever man's scheme,
And they thusly closed in to end his regime!

There was no escape for the last of his kind,
The land was now free, and forever unblind;
With nothing to hold the populace in fear
They went to rebuild and control their frontier!


It's sort of a more modern day tribute to 'The Destruction of Sennacherib' by Lord Byron.
