The New Old World

The time has come when stories of Kings

have become dusty tales and rusty things

The rulers of time in books filled with names

Examine the Old World page after page

There's a new kind of savage of scavenger breed

They continue to sin and are empowered by greed

These people, not noble, yet their podiums stand

They're dressed to be loyal but there's blood on their hands

There's a design to the pattern of how rulers unfold

What is new to us now may as well have been old
