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.
