Loyalty Letters

So, the loyalty letters stopped coming

In the 7^th year of my reign,

And for awhile I was heartsick,

Cut off from the information.

But then I saw that the prophecies

Weren't being fulfilled, either,

And so I quit worrying about the sacrifice,

And began listening to my heart.

The destinies were not determined.

The gods were not immortal.

Megaliths crumbled beneath me,

But the sun never came up in the west,

And so the queen remained.
