god save the queen.

2/28/21

     god save the queen
who withers in the decrees of dignity.
who cheerfully chants the tunes of lassitude.
who guzzles other's anguish; 
(her morphine).

god save the queen
who berates validation
yet bleeds hubris from rotting wounds of past
   success.
who croons the saturnine tunes
  of realism;
(a sombre lacquer)
  bathing the romantics in pragmatism.

god save the queen
who stirs the ocean's tide in her teacup
who chops the continents into biscuit;
(who bites off more than she can chew);
a jack of all trades,
   master of none.

     god save the queen
who tires from an organ's involuntary motion,
  yet deems voluntary adieu—fruitless.

     god save the queen
who the green-eyed monster ravishes;
who rivals in continual combat
with envy.

     god, save the queen,
who's only hiraeth belongs to a former life.
who's only romance is romanticism.
who's only recreation is ridiculing,
the philosophy of love.

god save the queen
who scoffs at divinity.

(divinity scoffs back.)
