will you die for him
they shot the protester
because he did protest
yet at his publicized memorial
they celebrated his life
as a court jester
the queen became enraged
at the death of the jester
and she dispatched the royal
police to hunt down
the transparent killers
the transparent killers dissolved
into the adjoining kingdom
blending with the locals
by begging for change
on street corners
recharged with fresh dollars
more protesters perish
by organized zealots
rudimentarily disguised
as the new court jester
april two thousand thirteen
