Analysis of 37 rings



37 rings 36 Death
Who Do we blame? The 35 Knights? The 34 Kings?
No, We die for them. They respect us, don't they?
If The 33 dogs and the 32 lions fought Then the 31 families wouldn't have anyone to follow Cancer, There goes another 30, 29 not so certain The world is hungry 28,27,26,25 and justice for all? No
Injustice is prominent to the 24 Rioters shot dead by 23 police 22 children without parents and 21 statues in their honor Unidentifiable they say 20 days of coverage on the weekly news born to write destined to Hypnotize, 19 Conspirators and 18 clansmen, Fish and cake wine and Blood, All hailed not so great, 18 white hoods Hurt colors they hate,17 addicts lost in a marble room, 16 armed shooters aimed at you,15 lost lovers in a trance,14 prisoners on their way to death,
13 wars all at once, 12 months, all hate no love
11 musicians smoking and shouting,10 frogs Croaking and pouting, 9 houses burned to the ground, 8 Pigs that bear the crown, 7 boxers in the Cage, 6 labyrinths with Gold and sage, 5 kamikaze planes in the air, 4 Pounds of deadly smoke in the air,3 flags that nobody bears,2 hats that the deceased can't wear, 1 Lost Doll in the limelight
As all people have given up that fight
