Word Prompt (K4): King
You think we didn’t see you up there?
Hiding away in your castle towers,
enjoying the struggles and pain of your people.
It’s not time yet,
but it will be.
When we decide that we’re ready.
We’re ready for you to stop.
We’re ready to make you stop.
And we will.
Your children may cry,
may rage and scream,
may throw themselves on their knees for mercy.
And for them, we may allow this.
Or we may not.
It’s been a long rule,
and who knows what they’ve learned in your shadow.
As for us?
Undoubtedly, there will be war.
There will be confusion.
Uncertainty mixed with tradition mixed with revolution.
Can you imagine?
That heady mix
*sigh*
Just breathe it in.
It goes down smooth,
vibrates in your chest.
The sound of heartbeats and footsteps,
marching in time.
Draw the bridge,
lock the gates,
set your guards along the walls.
(Or don’t.
Because they’re our brothers, not yours)
Prepare,
because we have.
And we’re eager and hungry,
and just this side of desperate.
Take one last drink,
one last sleep.
Kiss your queen,
hold your children.
Because tomorrow?
Is ours.

A/N: First “ramble” – as I like to call little recordings/podcasts. I’m not sure why this is what came out, but “King” led to oppression led to rebellion in my head. The “king” was highly implied, so I don’t feel too bad about not actually using the word.
This one was also a test to see how long an audio post can be in order for tumblr to support it. Future rambles should be longer.
