Sovereign Executioner

Abused

misused

power corrupts even the innocent. 

Have you seen?

Have you heard?

Bells tolling in the darkness

calling forth a new time.

Fire born of excess

cleansing the earth

scouring it

ridding it of rats

of snakes

all the bad kind.

Stand upon the hill so high

look down upon the masses

stalwart

knowing what needs to be done

yet

that choice is hard to make

bending knee

standing for truth

men have tried to incinerate you

for less.

Roped

hung

swinging in the wind

gasp for air

claw at the noose

figuratively placed there

to keep you bound.

Witch

slattern

harlot 

all do scream

we will take you to the ground

you will be ours to burn.

I finally concur

you were right to be worried

visions do come true

which is why I remain

hidden in the shadows

taking them out

one by one

for my Queen.
