The Little Knight Faces Civil Unrest<\/p>\n
The little knight was having a bad day.
\nThe kingdom wasn\u2019t the same old way.
\nThere was talk of rebellion against the king.
\nMany people were going to the extreme.
\nThe civil unrest was totally uncalled for.
\nThe country was not even in a war.
\nThe king was calling his knights together.
\nThe little knight knew this wasn\u2019t for the better.
\nHe would give his life to defend the kingdom.
\nBut, fight citizens?—– He might wing one.
\nIt was his sworn duty to obey the king.
\nNo matter what the results may bring.
\nHe did not want to see the king dethroned.
\nBut then, he didn\u2019t want citizens stoned.
\nHe was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
\nHe hoped he wouldn\u2019t have to use his mace.
\nThousands of knights were there, he found.
\nThe king said \u201cshit\u201d, and 10,000 iron pants hit the ground.
\n\u201cGet those pants up and listen to me.\u201d
\n\u201cOur citizen\u2019s are yelling they want to be free.\u201d
\n\u201cFor some reason, they don\u2019t want a monarchy.\u201d
\n\u201cThey want to have a say in how things are done.\u201d
\n\u201cMany of them are no better than scum\u201d
\n\u201cObviously, some changes need to be made.\u201d
\n\u201cMartial law is a good card to be played.\u201d
\nThe little knight didn\u2019t know what to do.
\nHe was against this and he was no fool.
\nThe little knight has always come out on top.
\nBut, he has never been put in this kind of a spot.
\nAt risk of being arrested, he was about to speak up.<\/p>\n
When he suddenly was awakened by his pup.
\nHe was in bed with the TV playing.
\nThe news was on and it was saying.
\n\u2018Civil unrest throughout the country.\u2019
\nWhile showing pictures it went on to say plenty.
\nThe little knight got up and turned it off.
\nHe took a swig of hard liquor and coughed.
\nHe had been dreaming about civil unrest.
\nSeems things were putting him to the test.
\nThe little knight wasn\u2019t sure what to do.
\nExcept to vote. He knew for sure he had to.<\/p>\n
