High Horses
Point your
jewel encrusted sword
Toward my face
Let the sunlight bounce off
the blade and blind my eyes
Look down at me and laugh
That sinister laugh
Like you always have
When you rub your hands
Together
And I see evil twine
Through your fingers
And grin
But I know someday
That your high horse will collapse
At my feet
Someday
