[shiningfractal]

often you just have to power through them
what are a few generations
with some luck
you can see your great grandkids
free from any curse
just gotta be faithful for a few decades
it is not hard work
even the common fare of
labourers and soldiers
are able to do it without problem
let alone a nobler higher soul
you have made a decision
which I consider very wise
to submit to the dominant god of our times
he has received your declarations of affection
and have received them with
calculated respect
due to your singular position
dear melancholic Princess
empress, it is Empress now
I am sure going to find at some point
a pretext to get used to calling you that
have you given any thought
about your life to come
I was told not to worry
that each day carries its own evil
if I were to keep scheming
decades in advance
I would waste the opportunity
to be present in the moment
fair enough
continue to ensure
that nothing distracts her
