The Myth of Avalon

You are like the myths of Avalon

where tales of justice reign like Kings

the counsels of virtue together rings

where impartial judgment does belong

 

but these are tales not so true

where those who rule afflict the poor

rob even crumbs from off their floor

malfeasance practiced what they do

 

What did the noblemen supply

but rape the peasant law his alibi

where starving children heard his cry

Noblesse oblige was just a lie

 

Where tyranny of rank did draw

class distinctions were the law

death and violence history saw

predators talons ripped like claw

 

Where the counsels of the court

were just aristocratic sport

where truth and justice did abort

peasants could not afford the tort

 

yet some would hold these fairytales

the myths of history that lies regales

fabrication cloaks and mindless fails

that these myths whats true assails

 

tales of myth and fancy
