Lineage



Lineage

My beautiful queen,
Your royalty is in question and your throne sought to be taken away,
They feast on your succession,
Attempting to take your successors my beautiful queen do you not see,
How can I convey these thoughts into your soul as the control for your heart has waged a war inside,
What route can I take to help you escape from this fate brought by false men and carried on by heartbroken women,  
Your words breathe life into us,
Your body makes the mightiest of man kneel to their knees,
Your mind is a complex state of emotions that leaves us open to be born again ready to face the world,
Do you not understand your own power,
Do you not see these false men cower under your essence and essentially they dumb down your blessings to be no more than that of a kind gesture,
Pleasure only lasts for so long,
Beauty is only in the eyes of the wise who sees it for what it is
Don't turn into the savages that ravage your powerful name
A queen,
Royalty, Kinship, a title befitting of you...my beautiful other side...you
