"The Dragon Lady of Shangri-La"

The helpless vain socialite
will seek vengeance upon the King
for coiling himself in lies
and shameless adultery.

Before he boards the vessel
the patriarch's bread defiled;
When it is eaten, the King
will collapse from within.

The kingdom in shock,
innumerable spiders
spread frightful rumors; The Lady prepares
a speech at Shangri-La

Arriving at the encampment
She walks up to podium, musing
"I shall become Queen"
then unfurls the hallowed parchments

Suddenly, a break from the crowd
A black-clad viper encircles
the distracted Dragon Lady;
whilst speaking, she feels a presence:

She turns her head and sees
a woman's eyes; The serpent spits
and kills the credulous Lady
in the midst of her speech.

After thunder and panic
All falls in relative silence;
then the steel birds will sing
a song of Shangri-La in conflagration.

Immediate loss; the kingdom aghast.
"All men," they'll cry, "deserve our mourning";
Cruelty astounding, the kingdom saved
for the price of shameless King.
