690 : Born to Rule

Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were: cunning, degenerate and emaciated.

Born to Rule

There’s a kind of 
smugness there;
A cunning smirk 
or two.
A high sense 
of entitlement,
With ribbons, 
regal blue.
Not coy,
They ignore 
the hoipolloi,
Intent
To rule 
by selling fears
Backed by 
degenerate affairs
And emaciated ideas.

  6. Same here with me, EC....'

    I find it pleasant to be a peasant with a bit of class; maybe it's also pleasant being a pheasant, but perhaps not one under glass.

  8. I love this. There's an abundance of emaciated ideas floating around.

  9. Ah, the joys of free speech, being able to choose the least worst corrupt incompetents.

  10. The year is 1776. The news of the American revolution needs to be shared with the king.
    Courtier: Sire, the American colonists are revolting.
    George III: They certainly are!
    Variations on a theme.
    Peace and joy, JC

  11. Emaciated ideas indeed. Ironically, that's what seems to be the norm these days.
