Chapter #23 : Kings & peasants

When 99% of the peasants,
look up upon the 1% of kings,
they see awe, glory, jealousy,
and a never ending climb.

Yet when the 1% of kings,
look upon a mirror,
they see pain, and the cost of the throne,
for even when there's no ladder to climb,
there's always the chance to fall.

And occasionally,
when the 1% of kings,
looks down from their thrones,
they do not see the 99% of peasants.
Instead, they see the millions of corpses,
they unknowingly trampled upon.

But maybe, even the 1% of kings,
is but an illusion, created by the peasants,
forever wanting more.
