Ode to the Kingdom of Jesters | Bang Ying Gao (12)

Unknown and unseen as people say

Nefarious fiends lay in wait 

Knowing knowledge is worth its weight in gold

Nested within dwellings of diamond slates

Overachievers in the game of minds

Worthy of the fool king's crown

Ill yet sanctioned by fallen times

Nay generous nor philanthropic yet

Greedy with luminous guise 


Another nation to rise in fame and glory 

Never paying mind the silent and subversive 

Scratching away at the golden foundation

Laid by generations of fore with blood and anguish

Destroying society from within


United we must stand against these demons in disguise

Never has man fought against an enemy stronger than man

Seeing the destruction yet knowing the solution

Every ticking second counts down to the kingdom’s demise 

Every beast takes more and more until there’s

Nothing left but bone and decay 


unseen as they are

unseen they desire to stay

unless the attention is shifted onto them

unseen they will stay
