Rose stepped off the flower and into the air above, Marrying her thoughts to her emotional analysis of the Situation.
Raising taxes on his own people every year To finance vain projects within the castle walls, Is like forcing some of his servants to be booth lickers, In his royal closet, simply because they were born With longer than average tongues.
Our people deserve better and fairer treatment, They’ve supported us not just when we waged war, And stole land from humans, But when we successfully defended the realm, From those same bastards trying to take back Their rightful lands from us.
The king thinks it’s so easy to lie and convince our subjects That we are doing the right things for their benefit And wellbeing………..it is not, Their intelligence is slightly above average, Just enough to spark their mental candles into illuminating The truth of what we do. But! Over taxing them outrageously is going too far. Our people deserve better and fairer treatment…………
Rose made a one eighty in midflight to fly back To the castle in Asentralight, where she came from To make her case to her brother the king, Why it was a bad idea to make this new policy That would hurt their people.
