Analysis of Remembering the Queen



Remembering the Queen.

King, Queen and the Prince
Monarch, thy name Elizabeth
Fondly remembered by the Brits
Fiercely fought by the colonies.

A five mile queue to see the coffin
Brits love the monarch,
Nothing more nothing less.
The legend in peace,
Say the lords and commons alike.
A week of cancelled programs
A week of funeral hunters
A weak nation breaks the hegemony.

Beyond the horizon,
Beyond the Empire building,
Beyond the cacophony
Lies the colonial warriors,
Clumsily breathe the nasty air.

The Colonies remember the torture,
The struggle to freedom,
The survival of the weakest
The Jalianwala Bach treachery
And many more nauseating events,
Thy name struggle for freedom.

The nation that survives on treachery,
Breaks the nation,
but not the notion.
The barbarians rule the world,
Colonise the infighting locals,
Cunning and incredulous way,
To say the civilization dawn
Least to know the empathy.

Centuries old disgust and discomfiture,
Sign of weakness among nations
Solace, they nature, crumbles
Cognitive in the coffin buried.

The forefathers of our civilization
Quenches their thirst in vain,
Rebellious they may be,
Hanging in the Bill boards
Unknown to the sacrifice they made,
Unwittingly erroneous in today's world,
Filthy, selfish and  ceremonial leaders,
Bogey utterances and finial actions,
Thwart any greatness accompanied.

Remembering thy queen,
Reignites the pre colonial nation.
Relentless struggle,
Revolutions and resolutions
Amid poverty and fantasy.
Long live the Queen's memory
Long live the the new King.
