***

Seize, a word of power and might,
In history, it led to many a fight,
Kings and conquerors sought to take,
Lands and riches for their own sake.

The people suffered, their freedom lost,
Their hopes and dreams, at great cost,
A word that echoes through the ages,
Seize, the conqueror's ruthless wages.
