CHANGE OF GUARD.
We resolved that
We wanted new leadership.
As a people
We overthrew the King.
And replaced him
With another.
Time passed
And still there was no change
We later discovered
The bitter truth.
That the King’s replacement
Was the son.
A true son
Of our former King.
So we organized
And overthrew this King.
We chose a Queen instead
Change is what we yearned.
To our disappointment
To our utter dismay.
Time passed
And still there was no change.
We later discovered
The bitter truth.
That the King’s replacement
Was the daughter.
A true daughter
Of our former King.
By, Fanon Kihu.
