Kingdom Come. Democracy has not always existed. Before there was democracy, there were kings, queens, and monarchs. The setting is a land governed by a monarchy. Be the monarch tyrannical or benevolent, they rule absolutely and cast a long shadow. You can write from within the walls of the palace, or from without.
Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
kingdom come
there are lies within
and pain without
shattered crowns
where evil sprout
bloodstained gowns
hands unclean
i loose the rook
to save the queen
behind the walls
the pawns do wait
ready to die
and seal their fate
broken thrones
they fell apart
i see the king
i pierce the heart
the game is over
the war is won
i take the crown
kingdom come
