The once beloved Knight Sir Lancelot
and his loyal trusted men at
The threat of death were forced to kneel before the entire royal court and pledge their fealty to the King.

They were admonished for their actions.
The King had a more useful purpose for these men. They were given impunity. Which led to the discriminate slaughter of the peasants they sought to protect.

This harsh reminder and lesson for the other Marauders in the land,  going against the King, would have dire consequences.

Song inspired
The monarch song by horrible histories
There are several different versions are all funny
BLT Webster’s Word of the Day challenge
Fealty7-25-24
An old-fashioned word, somewhat literary word that refers to intense, loyalty or fidelity
Will the fealty of the masses
who have blindy followed a
Judas Ram into the perdition
we now face be shifted slightly
off target by the clarion call
issuing from the Good Shepherd
in search of her lost lambs.

"When will you leave?" I asked.
"When you use me to grow yourself,"
replied the pain.

A Catastrophe
Guarantees change forever
Broken eggs happen
Reality, Webster’s Word of the Day
Catastrophe7-23-25
A monumental tragic event and utter failure
i can cover up the bruises
and put away the nooses
and pretend the sky isn't grey

conceal my feelings
feign peace with your dealings
and claim it's been a good day

burn my negativity
disguise my proclivities
and filter every word i say

in effort to soothe
and be warm for you
i will be 'okay'



today i'll do it just for you
but one day i want it to be true

today i'll do it to make it easy
but one day i want it to be for me
