Your gateway to endless inspiration
”How the mighty hath fallen.”
I said this to the man.
His body was adorned with gems
It looked pure alone, but under his they are lower than dirt.
.
Before me was the lord of the fief
Once I had idolized him
But that was before he robbed me of my family
And my feelings as a human being.
.
I thought that power could save me
So I picked up his post
Terrorizing the land
Orders and whip lashes
And finally, I gained what I need.
But now
Decades had passed
Jewellery clothed me
Maidens had been ravaged by me
The citizens’ smiles were sweet
Life is good
Yet my heart didn’t agree, laying only still.
.
Suddenly my vision became red
Voices came, but only from my mouth
It wasn’t words, it wasn’t pleads of beg or help—
but indescribable yelps.
.
Then I was laid on a wooden platform
A thin long metal loomed over me.
I looked at the people
Their faces still wore the same mask
.
Smiling but yet laced with contempt
And revenge.
.
I tilted up my head, my eyes following, as far as I can go.
.
I realized
Even with the behaviour they showed
And jeers whenever they opened their lips
I had felt nothing.
.
As if, ever since, nothing had changed.
.
”Oh how the mighty hath fallen.”
Then I felt myself disconnect.
