WORSHIPFUL ROYALS

History,
replete with amorous, erotic
tales of Royals
kings and queens
alike in the secret
royal recesses of
palaces
which were not
dirty linen to
be washed in public.
On the contrary
kings in the company
of his consorts
and queens engaging in
sexual games
with kings and
courtiers alike
were celebrated
even respected
and worshipped.
Nothing left
to be washed
in public
as Royal acts
but sacred acts
as far as
the subjects were
concerned.
Today
with the passage of
time
media as well as
key-hole writers
care not the
repercussions
of penning
sexual profiles of men
in power
please read,
political leaders.
Even a Prince
charming
- such species, these days
few and far between -
bedding a maid-servant
though hot news
he too remains
Royal celebrity
respected and worshipped
not only
across his own fiefdom
but
the world over
even Royal salute and Red-carpet reception
awaiting him.
Washing dirty linen
in public
is reserved for
dirty men
whose names
already dirtied
the only consolation
for them being
not much is
left to be
talked about
outside the narrow
confines of
each’s little circle
the more dirtied he/she
the less dirty he is
otherwise
ask a beggar
nothing left to be
dirtied
for them
like the Royal ones
of gone eras.
