An ancient relic of a subjugated land

An ancient relic,
decrepit, passes away
yet the sun still shines

over the remnants
of a subjugated land,
sick with fealty.

Twelve centuries
of uninterrupted rule
makes fools of the serfs

who plough the margins,
pushed out by the royal walls,
loyal to the last.
