The king's new clothes..
It was the day of the royal attitudes - Masquerade
Their stiff and oh so distinguished customsβ
A false politeness which now fills all the theatrical newspapers.
A circus of spectacles in public places,
where the people love those who have the most expensive clothesβ
The routine of elegant waving hand gestures to the people,
while they drive around in a gold chariot
United with a cold and haughty smile -
Ohh- See, They looked at me : the people thought.-
However, in the middle of the crowd stood a little boy
Who saw through the picturesque falsity & said:
Oh, look, it's our tax money that's being spent
While both the elderly, the sick and the poor suffer..
