from the ashes
of tv nation
the sole survivor
approached the golden castle
victorious

it’s mighty gate
shattered
by the age-old onslaught
of pettiness and greed
what was left
of the treasures within
lay bare
unwanted

but the survivor knew
for he was a proud remnant
of that age
and so he entered boldly
uncharacteristically aware
that the real value of the place
was still there

the raw power
was gone
but much fear remained
tv nation was dead
and yet
it’s ghost was everywhere
uncontained

and soon
he was simply there
sitting upon the glistening throne
with no one to challenge
as the castle itself did declare
that he was king

and now madness
was the precious thing

looking up
the king’s eyes were clear
like those of damocles
he welcomed that fear
this power would destroy him
yes
and the lives of millions

but first
he would make them all pay
and in this fear of darkness
he would rage and rant
and enrich his purse
