PRISON OF PALACE

entry picture

i. You walk magistically as a king, posing as a billionaire, making some noise as a cock, you forget that there is prison of palace. ii. You talk like a bombing of fire, beating your wife as a band, sending your workers away as if they are many, bringing shame to every human dignitaries, you forget that there is prison of palace. iii. You walk on top of men like a carpet, using fishermen's trap to draw fishers of men, pouring sand inside their sweet berries, you forget that there is prison of palace. What is that prison of palace?
