Two Kingdoms

[Floyd Looney]

Once upon a time, two kingdoms align
Happiness and contentedness
Were the order of the Day
Equal parts were work, sleep and play

But on one dark and gloomy afternoon
Storm clouds broke and uncivil war ensued
Anger, sadness, bitter and dark
Equal parts shame and equal parts blame

You are lazy/ you are trivial
Words of anger, pain inside, cannot be taken back
You are fat/ you are plain
Foul moods, lives ruined, homes wrecked

Crude rumors, war clouds rise
All a bother, such a shame, potential gone
Broken walls, painful cries
Hands once intertwined now go alone

Does the day hate the night?
Does the eagle hate the catch?
Does power make right?
Does the door dread the latch?


Far beyond the dream of two kingdoms torn asunder
Those who live under, cry for the break
Try they plead for our sake?
But underfoot, undermine, no one pays heed the sign

The answer is simple but both are too proud
It would take but a whisper, not even so loud
Put aside this trifle, this petty squabble
Unity together only can we cobble

Two kingdoms again together can stand
But it will take a little bend for this to mend
Just one act of selflessness can
Cause this conflagration to be at an end

oh well

Poetry is not a big thing for me. It is good work though.

lol. A very rare thing for me. Last time I wrote a 60-page story around a poem called "These Worlds of Ours" but it was lost long ago.
