Seeds of Unrest

Topsy-turvy hurly-burly
Attitudes of despair.
Fortunate wards in poverty live,
whilst the poorest do prevail.

Secular humour to good man's beliefs
do show the intent of one's heart,

when surounded by myths and lies abundant

Permiating your very core.

Still fighting, with fright-filled eyes,

The castle dwellers removed.

The poorest of men, heros,

Unsung by the fortunate few!

Heads on sticks,

Historical accounts?

antiquated legends

of bygone souls.

Here we are in the tme of Vlad the impaler it seems. the plague of London even, it is much a story which surrounds the poor incidently, to which the nobels were less influenced than those whose only hope was gloom. The seeds of unrest were surely poverty stricken and this makes it quite a wise write.
