God Save the Queen

God Save the Queen

God save the Queen
God save the King
 Please God, save the nations
The  people under the monarchs
The blood of our people cries out
They are suffering in so many ways
Please Queen, hear our cries
Do not be a figure head only
In these times we need heroes
Not political zeroes,
I have believed in what you stand for
All my life
I have been the good girl
That went to school and got a job
I was not a drug addict or a slut
I kept my nose to the grindstone
What did that get me?
A flat nose
How can I say this nicely
Royalty has a duty
So does the wealthy privlidged
To not finagle us out of the little we have
Nor to entrap us with ways to steal 
Our personal freedoms
Have you all not noticed
The price of pain in the past?
Check with the poor lady Marie Antoinette?
She will have a 411 for you
Today is but a dream
A bad one of yesterday
God save the Queen
Perhaps she will think of me
