Analysis of Rejoice
all rejoice
as the palace, at long last,
has been conquered
unshackling those
previously imprisoned by
the king’s rule
celebration just outside its
elegant gates
strikes no one as immoral,
despite the common knowledge that
a mere large set of double doors
is all that stands between them and
a hundred slain monarchs
concern only breeds with
the passage of time
as the palace continues to sit
elegantly and beautifully,
embellished with gold and marble,
proudly atop its paved and gated hill
causing it to suddenly occur
to those of the town that
they had never before explored
life beyond imprisonment
and they will all still die here
