Royals in Kansas City

October 25, 2014

Kansas City Ascendant

 

For three decades minus one

the princes had wondered about

the dusty plains of fly-over land

swinging their trusty weapons

and pounding their fists

covered in gloves of soft leather.

Running, pitching,​​ catching;

preparing​​ for the coming battles

that would surely come their way.

Princes in wait.

 

Then, in the year of 14

they rose up to do battle

with the forces of the​​ 

coastal lowlands;

to meet the​​ kingdoms​​ that

had so long ruled them

and the great powers were​​ 

in awe of​​ the blue​​ forces.

The​​ ​​ highland princes in blue

fought valiantly​​ winning victory

after victory until the decisive

battle was joined and they​​ 

headed courageously into the foray

and engaged the only mighty kingdom

left,​​ the giants of the western bay.

And although the princes battled

With great heart and soul,​​ 

they were​​ defeated in the battle

and had to bow to the Great Kingdom

and laid down their weapons

but as they did, their people​​ 

raised them up in spirit and hope

for battles to come

Royalty in defeat.
