Royal pomp dripping in gold,

Us the serfs find ourselves sold,

Political power and all their chummies,

Don’t care a fig for the nation’s mummies,

Elites all sunning on our labours,

Making themselves the newest saviours,

People all oppressed and downtrodden,

Calling this out will soon be forbidden.
