Wow, you are brave to go against the tide! I relished your biting mono-verse rhymes in these quatrains and finale in rhymed couplets. You are the king of political satire! -Joan

Kamran, my friend. This is really brilliant- you really should write more of this length, because you really let loose. I agree that Britain and america both have exploited the world all over. There is something very disturbing and unsettling about that monarchy. Wonderful piece! God bless, Holly

'Humanity's Mockery' is well thought out like a joker you appear. Politics are suppose to be fair. Personally, I think of her as shallow with a stern face. The Great Queen Grannie sure has many things to be proud of like her new grandbabies. You should add them in too.
Anyways, good flow of rhymes. Nice work.

Hi ameen,
When I saw the picture I about fell off my chair laughing. Why is it we don't think of royalty sitting on a toilet? I love the satirical poem with its good rhyme and meter. You have done an excellent job with mono-rhyming a poetic device I forget to use. I wonder what it would feel like to be a royal...oh Well I shall never know. This is an excellent poem and well deserving of six stars.....blessings, chey

The picture with its play on words is hysterical. I love the rhyme scheme. And your rhymes seem so natural. Another satirical comment on the hypocrisy of ruling aristocracy.

I was reading about that last night, Ameen. The Brits pay a very high cost for their royals that amazes me. I believe that the Bell tower will always be called "Big Ben."

Comment from rashi kumar
This is a masterpiece, not only for the poetic essences but such a message. A terrific satire!
While the half of globe suffers, there are people who are busy showing off opulence.
Very well-written, such phrases and alliteration!
A great work to be understood and remembered!

Comment from mohit_sharma
good one....i loved reading this....too good.....last stanza needs a minute revision....
Fools wagging tongues join the circus;

Accomplices that are donning god
launches humanity on heavenly abode.

Hello mohit and welcome to the site. Thanks for stopping by, appreciate your time and the kind suggestion. However, one thing we have to realize is to maintain the cadence, rhyme/rhythm in poetry and if I use your suggestion, that would increase the syllable count in both lines and spoil the rhythm of the poem; and please check the site's rules/guidelines when you read/review and rate work, you don't give less than five if the poem meets the requirements of being a poem, i.e., in terms of its mechanics; again, welcome and good luck.

Thanks for the welcome note Mohd. Kamran.....but the total syllable count is still 34........In my review two times i have mentioned that its very good....I don't know what has been reflected at your end through my rating...and in the rules/regulations it has also been stated that you cannot object about the reviewer's rating..Thanks for welcome note....Thanks for replying....all the very best....
-
You are missing the point Mohit, each line is eight syllables, i.e., the lines are measured/patterned and or metered, hope that helps; and I am not objecting, just trying to enlighten you my friend, good luck.

Thank u Mohd. Kamran....I was not aware of this....i assumed it to be in free style....okay.....good luck to u too.....all the best
Comment from Patti R.
And I think we all know she is the figurehead: the living facade. Is it fair to nail her to the cross? She, too knows that all she can do is stand in a lovely suit and wave. She has had no power since her day one. Perhaps to criticize the woman is harsh, let's criticize her house, her government, there is the evil, blind, hopelessness. Just my humble opinion. Good write.
