Harvesting the crop, the chaste verdict of negligence

The story of kings' and their kingdoms', is herewith about to be told
Of strife and political govern, and the anguish to be overthrown
One kingdom was gleaming and golden, its castle was built out of strain
It was ruled by a merciful monarch, who's justice was widely acclaimed
Elected to power by voting, by his fellowmen that he had been
A prospering nation of justice, where each owned as much as their kin
The other domain was of silver, its regent was righteous and grand
He governed his kingdom by justice and rendered his ruling by hand
The monarch had come into power by seizing his govern by force
He considered himself to be able, and by cunning he managed his course

Each kingdom prevailed independent, their riches continued to grow
But then came a sudden disaster, of drought that obstructed the growth
Starvation was sudden and heartless, for the king in the golden domain
He had labored his folk for the kingdom, convoking their goods and their grains
But the people he reigned were neglected, and the virtue of personal gain
And soon he was stranded with nothing, but the cast of a social charade
The kingdom of silver and marble, was likewise affected by drought
But merely in petty proportions, as govern was slightly unlike.
The people had land that they planted, to nourish themselves and their king
Profusion was not for the kingdom, but earnings for personal strain

The people of silver had plenty, preserved since the time of excess
Diverse to the folk who had nothing, who's earnings had mothered distress
He pleaded, he begged and he bellowed that his neighbors should part with their gain
And contribute avail for his people, the king of the golden domain
The people considered his motives, but seemly rejected his plea
They replied that the rate of survival, was an issue for nature to deem
The king was provoked by this answer, and shortly resolved to wage war
In attempt to ensure his persistence, and the life of his people of course
But the force he unearthed was brutal, and too meager he was his cause
Let nature decide who is able, or be reckoned for judgement by force
