All Hail the Mad Queen

The look at the village's Mad Queen

 All Hail the Mad Queen

By: Nikki Chalifoux

All anyone ever sees is the king of the kingdom.

But..what about the women next to him.

Everyone think's she's proper & perfect.

But what if...what if she was the one planning the wars, training the armies

and capturing other countries . She would still be looked upon as perfect, 

everyone thinking her husband did it all.

As she sits in her kingdom she plans attacks making

snide comments.

By day she puts on a face, because that's what the people

needed to see. She watches everyone blame the madness

on the king. While it was really a different face behind it all. 

So yes, she watched and felt bad for her beloved king.

But this didn't stop her as she sat in a throne given

to her many a time ago, still having the mad thoughts run

through her head as she watched the villages pass by.

She thinks about the civilizations she's captured, how many had thought to

be independent. But, failed succumbing to being property owned slaves.

But, it didn't matter to her. None of it mattered to her. 

Why you ask?

Because this queen was mad.

You wonder how I know, how I know how this person thinks and acts. Knowing

that on the inside that this queen could rule better than any king.

Who am I ?

I am this Queen. I can rule hundreds no thousand of men & women.

Only to have then blame a king that doesn't do half the work I do.

So, keep on saying "All hail the mighty King"

While in my perspective it should really be "All hail the Mad Queen". 

I will stay silent & pure

Like the young school children in the village.

But soon I will speak and take action.

Throughout the kingdom you will her the words screamed.

" All Hail The Mad Queen!"
