“Knowing their place”

Monarchy thrives when they all “know their place”, when “commoners” not only choose but embrace

Positions in life that hold up their “betters”, that pay just enough to pay off golden fetters.

For hundreds of years the “common” were told the monarch protects them and for this they’re owed

Trust and respect, Eternal allegiance. This kept them “knowing their place” without grievance.

Vicarious living through blue blooded tales now keeps them in place when their lives becomes stale.

Cheering at shows of white privilege and pride, to this common bond their fetters are tied.

And in doing, accept they’ve long been conditioned to cheer for a show with no chance of admission

Or share in this wealth of these castles and lands they view from a distance yet pay tax on demand.

So why doesn’t Monarchy fall in disgrace? The “common” uphold them by “knowing their place”.
