《Shards of Sugar (2022 - x) - [Poetry By Eclipse 3]》63.) house of cards
Advertisement
I'm falling like a house of cards,
house of cards,
house of cards.
The truth is tearing my heart apart,
heart apart,
heart apart.
You know I'd never say a thing.
Not one word, no, nothing.
I will not hum nor sing,
but I still feel something sting.
I'm falling like rain,
I'm falling like snow.
I'm falling like hailstone
you would never know.
I'm falling like a house of cards,
house of cards,
house of cards.
The truth is tearing my heart apart,
heart apart,
heart apart.
When did this even start,
even start,
even start?
Never mind I'll turn this seed into art,
into art,
into art.
All a snowflake can do is fall
from the skies above, above all.
And I know that God knows all.
Of all orbs that live on this ball.
I'm falling, still, in silence.
Silent snowfall upon a hill, so mute it's violent.
I'm falling like a house of cards,
house of cards,
house of cards.
The truth is tearing my heart apart,
heart apart,
heart apart.
My eyes see courage on my mood ring.
Who knows what these signs will bring.
Now I am tempted to say something.
Maybe I shall not say, but sing.
And if my voice is rejected or denied,
at least I can go on to say that I had tried.
And I can go on to fall by their breath.
Like a house of cards falling to its death.

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.

But instead closed its borders and entered into an era of seclusion. 23 years later and the Authority has begun to stir, the generation of Roman-Britons once loyal to the Federation are slowly matching to their graves. And as rebellion dwindles, the war machine arises in its place as millions of soldiers roar our maxim. "All is Beneath the Authority! And All shall stay Beneath!"
