The King and vice king

and verily it came to pass
that the King sued for peace
he grubbily worked a deal
behind the back of state and police
with the enemy from long ago
thoughtlessly with caprice

I will give you all you want

much more land and rights
we will starve the opposition
suppress the will to fight
humiliate on prime TV
on a Saturday night

and verily the press did see
some were glory fed
others were not so taken
sadly shook their head
will uncover the kings leanings
and whom he shares his bed

the King and vice king in glory
strutting on world stage
irk the good and wholesome
and stable countries enrage
reporters dig deep into their past
to fill the gossip page
