let the bells toll

let the bells toll

heads bowed in general 

dismay

the queen has died

flowered offerings appear 

to support the iron fencing

surrounding the palatial monuments

of wealth gained

stolen

through colonization

and the heinous acts

the crowning jewel of

racism

let the bells toll for thee

not unlike the pope

the audaciousness of insults

given to those

that have given their all

so the church can continue

it's reign of terrors

all so easily tossed about

tossed out like the starved 

dead child 

with the bath water

let the bells toll for thee

forcibly given so those at the top

remain atop the mountain

celebrating themselves

rather than those of 

much sacrifice

the subjects

the flock

the ignorant masses

let the bells toll for thee

the wanna be dictators

the grifters of fame

let the bells toll for thee

costs much from others

to actually be on top

a king of the mountain

let them all eat kake

they say

let them  

the bells toll
